Odds, Picks & Predictions: Braves Vs. Nationals (9/26/22)

The Atlanta Braves are 1.5 games behind the New York Mets in the NL East. They are playing a three-game series in Washington against the Washington Nationals. The Nationals are last in their division and have a record of 4-12 against Atlanta this season. Bryce Elder will start for Atlanta against Cory Abbott. FanDuel Sportsbook lists the Braves as heavy betting favorites of -260 on the moneyline at home with a total of 9.0 runs.

The Braves are averaging 6.1 runs per game against the Nationals this year. The Braves have scored 14 runs in their last two games. A $100 wager on the Over 9.0 runs at FanDuel would pay $83.33 in profits plus the initial stake back.

Austin Riley, Dansby Swanson and Freddie Freeman are the three prop bets for Monday's NL East same-game parlay. Riley is second on the Braves in runs scored (85) and leads the NL in total bases (110). Swanson is coming off back-to-back multi-hit games and moved up to the leadoff spot recently. Freeman is a hot player and he's been playing well recently, so he should get hits. The final prop bet is that Braves will be leading by at least three runs at the end of the fifth.
