Alex Kolodziej’s Braves vs Giants Preview, Prediction
Atlanta Braves Betting Preview: Big Value on Dugie
For today’s Braves-Giants series finale, one of the first bets I locked in Sunday was Alex Verdugo to record a double, available at +475 odds on BetMGM.
PRO Projections give a big bump to Verdugo in the doubles market today among the Atlanta hitters. PRO’s model values Verdugo’s probability of hitting a double around 0.27, indicating a fair price closer to +270.
Verdugo was called up by the Braves in mid-April to give their outfield an offensive boost — he recorded five doubles in his first eight games.
Sunday’s venue also plays a crucial role in Verdugo’s ability to post a two-bagger as Oracle Park ranks among the toughest stadiums for home runs over the past three seasons, but its unique dimensions favor doubles, with expansive outfield gaps that allow well-placed hits to drop in for extra bases.
This combination of player form, ballpark characteristics, and pricing inefficiency makes Verdugo’s double an excellent wager for Sunday’s game.
While odds have dipped as low as +380 elsewhere, BetMGM’s +475 provides a roughly 7% betting edge.
Pick: Alex Verdugo Over 0.5 Doubles (+475; BetMGM)
