Location: Truist Park

Weather Forecast: Clear, 65 degrees

Moneyline (ML):

• Philadelphia Phillies: +132
• Atlanta Braves: -156

The Moneyline suggests that the Atlanta Braves are the favorites to win the match, with a bet of $100 on the Braves returning $164 if they secure a victory. Conversely, a bet of $100 on the Philadelphia Phillies would yield $232 if they manage to come out on top.

Total Points (O/U):

• Over 8.0: -108
• Under 8.0: -112

The odds indicate a close expectation on the total runs scored by both teams combined. A bet on the game total going over 8 runs stands at -108, meaning a $108 bet would return $208 if the combined score is 9 or more. On the flip side, if you're expecting a lower-scoring game, the under 8.0 runs is priced at -112. A bet of $112 would return $212 if the teams combined for 7 or fewer runs.

Run Line:

• Philadelphia Phillies: +1.5 (-162)
• Atlanta Braves: -1.5 (+134)

On the Run Line, the Phillies are given a 1.5 run advantage. If you bet on the Phillies, they would need to either win the game or lose by just 1 run for you to win the bet. This comes at odds of -162, so a $162 bet would return $262. Conversely, for the Braves to cover the -1.5 run line, they'd need to win by at least 2 runs. A $100 bet on the Braves covering the run line would return $234.
