The odds from various bookmakers reveal a tight contest but lean towards the Braves' advantage.

FanDuel slightly adjusts this perspective with -196 odds for the Braves, suggesting a slight shift in confidence possibly due to recent team dynamics or player performances. Bet365NewJersey mirrors this sentiment with -200 odds for a home victory.


The total runs market is set at 8 across most bookmakers, with DraftKings and Bet365NewJersey offering -122 and -120 for over 8 runs, respectively.
