Last year the Giants were so good that it was like a rising stock that exceeded the charts. There was no way San Francisco could repeat that success with the baseball betting odds. Following a comparatively modest start, the Giants have picked up the pace. San Francisco is in the thick of the National League playoff race. At the onset of the season, the Braves had a World Series championship hangover. But as the weather has turned hot, so have the Braves. Atlanta is showing why they could repeat as World Series champions.
