MLB World Series Betting Insights: Braves Big Across the Board
Line movement can speak volumes in the high-stakes MLB futures betting world. We’ve seen some significant shifts since the opening odds were published.
Line movement (Open to Current)
- Braves +800 to +325
- Rays +2200 to +750
- Rangers +5000 to +800
In particular, the Atlanta Braves have moved from an initial +800 to a current +325, demonstrating increased confidence among bettors to go along with their impressive play this season. The Tampa Bay Rays have also seen a large jump, going from a longshot at +2200 to a much more optimistic +750, but the Rays have fallen back after a hot start turned to a mediocre middle. And let’s not forget the Texas Rangers, who went from an enormous +5000 to a more reasonable +800, reflecting a surge of belief in their performance two-thirds of the way through the season.
