Prediction published on 8/6/26, 3:25 PM  by Carlos Zabala | Modified on 8/6/26 at 11:10 PM in MLB Picks

At this point, the Braves are listed as the fourth favorite in MLB betting odds to win this World Series, paying +1200. The Braves, who had recently been challenged, have once again built a comfortable lead over their division rivals after winning each of their last seven games. On Wednesday, Atlanta defeated Miami 4-1.

The Braves also won the second game of their series against the Marlins, after having previously swept the Nationals at Truist Field in a four-game series. The Braves failed to sign a starting pitcher before the trade deadline, but the move may be a sign that they will continue to rely on Holmes and Elder; the latter pitched a truly outstanding game on Wednesday, going seven innings and allowing only one hit. He earned the win thanks to a three-run second inning, highlighted by a Rilye RBI double and a Baldwin single.

Acuña went 1-for-4 but extended his hitting streak to four games. Since his return from a long injury, the Venezuelan superstar has hit two home runs. Meanwhile, on Wednesday, Olson played his 896th game, remaining the eighth player with the longest streak in MLB history, in the same game that Dubón recorded his 600th career hit.
