Last year the Seattle Mariners made the playoffs for the firs time in 21 years. During those two decades then Mariners have been more down more than up with the baseball betting odds. Thus, there was justifiable skepticism about Seattle’s ability to contend for the playoffs in a second consecutive season. By contrast, the Atlanta Braves are a playoff regular. And the 2021 World Series champions. Atlanta leads the National League East, as expected. But the Braves have not provided reliable betting value at home. And that is costly to gamblers backing them at Truist Park.
