Atlanta Braves 2024 World Series Odds
In The first half of the 2024 season, the Atlanta Braves have been one of the biggest disappointments in baseball. Atlanta does lead the wild card standings, but the Braves have been about winning division titles. Perhaps that is for the best, considering Atlanta’s playoff woes as a regular National League East champion. The Braves were far behind the Phillies in the NL East standings. Among the sources of frustration for fans and gamblers is a lineup that is in the middle of the pack for run production. Atlanta was one of the worst values on the board in the season’s first half. There is a segment of gamblers who see a positive market correction upcoming in the dog days of summer.

The Atlanta Braves are coming off six consecutive National League East Division titles. Included in that run was the 2021 World Series championship. But the other five times, Atlanta did what it is known for and lost a playoff series that she should have won, and last year epitomized the Braves’ reputation. Atlanta won 104 games but was taken out three games to one by a lesser Philadelphia Phillies team in the NLCS. But in the 2024 futures market, gamblers initially were coming back for more. In most markets, Atlanta is second to the Los Angeles Dodgers as the public’s choice to win the World Series.
Gamblers were wondering what the Braves have beyond Max Fried and Spencer Strider in the rotation. If Charlie Morton duplicates last year’s success and Sale ends his injury woes, this starting staff will be more than capable of supporting what should again be one of the game’s most potent offenses. Morton has been inconsistent during the first half of 2024.
The desire to fill the pitching staff with power arms led the Braves to re-sign both Pierce Johnson and Joe Jiménez before acquiring López and Aaron Bummer. Reynaldo López will likely begin the season in the rotation, but he could be a high-leverage option if he returns to a relief role. The acquisition of Jarred Kelenic came via the Braves’ willingness to take on bad contracts and ultimately pay about $17 million for the high-upside former top prospect.
