  • The Braves have a preseason win total in the triple digits for the first time since 1996.
  • Ronald Acuรฑa Jr. has value at +2000 to be MLB's home run leader this season.

The Atlanta Braves have won 100-plus games in consecutive seasons. They have also claimed the last six National League East crowns, winning a World Series over that span.

And they might just be scratching the surface of their potential.

With most of Atlantaโ€™s best players in their prime, this team is a deserving MLB odds favorite heading into the 2024 season.

Braves Futures Odds

Win Total: 101.5
NL East: -275
NL Pennant: +240
World Series: +450

Following a 104-58 campaign, the Braves finally have the preseason respect they deserve via MLB betting markets.

Atlantaโ€™s futures odds are shorter this spring than in recent years. It marks the first time the Braves have had a win total in the triple digits since 1996, and the first time they have minus odds to win the division before the opener.

Atlantaโ€™s preseason NL East odds:

  • 2023: +100
  • 2022: +120
  • 2021: +130
  • 2020: +200
  • 2019: +385
  • 2018: +2550

Braves Offseason Moves

The Braves have one of the best offenses in the league, so they prioritized pitching in the offseason following another NLDS exit.

Jarred KelenicLF

Departures

The Braves want to round out a rotation led by Spencer Strider and Max Fried to make a deep postseason run, so they are making a bet on Sale staying healthy.

Sale, 35, has only pitched in 31 games with the Red Sox over the last three years. He did make 20 starts last season, finishing with a 4.30 ERA and 125 strikeouts across 102 2/3 innings.

Kelenic, who is 24, could make strides with a change of scenery following three seasons with the Seattle Mariners.

Braves 2024 Betting Prediction

Prediction: Braves to lead MLB with most regular-season wins (+275)

While the Dodgers have been the talk of the town this offseason, the Braves led the league with 104 wins last year.

Now, Atlanta is an MLB betting underdog to do it again in 2024.

Los Angeles is the favorite at +160, while Atlanta has +275 odds to pace the majors in victories.

PECOTA projects the Braves to finish with 101.3 wins, besting the Dodgers’ mark of 100.1 victories. FanGraphs has Atlanta posting five more wins than Los Angeles this season.

The Braves are simply the better bet in a top-heavy league entering 2024.
