NL East Betting Prediction 2025
According to the latest MLB odds market, my NL East betting prediction for 2025 is on the Braves to win the division (+140).
Given Atlanta’s recent reign in the NL East, this price tag is extremely enticing.
Here’s a look at the Braves’ preseason odds in recent years:
- 2024: -275
- 2023: +100
- 2022: +120
- 2021: +130
- 2020: +200
- 2019: +385
- 2018: +2550
This is the best price tag for the Braves to win the division since 2020, so I have no problem taking the value this spring. While the division will be more competitive at the top, projections are giving the edge to Atlanta for a reason.
The Braves will bounce back in 2025.
Prediction: Braves to Win the NL East (+140)
