PHOENIX – Thursday night presents an excellent betting opportunity on MLB, starting with the Atlanta Braves favored on the runline against the Arizona Diamondbacks. Atlanta won seven straight road games after playing the previous day, proving they have what it takes to cash their -121 legal sports betting odds on the moneyline.
Braves vs Diamondbacks Betting Lines
| Team | Spread | Moneyline | Total |
|---|---|---|---|
| Atlanta Braves | -1.5 (+135) | -121 | O8.5 (-120) |
| Arizona Diamondbacks | +1.5 (-160) | +101 | U8.5 (+100) |
Despite Atlanta run totals going under in all six games this season, Thursday’s 8.5-run total has -120 odds to go over. Five of the last six meetings between these teams went over, and Diamondbacks’ starter Ryne Nelson has a 7.71 earned run average to start the season.
- Best Prop: Drake Baldwin Over 0.5 Runs (+110)
Baldwin has been the engine of Atlanta’s offense to start the 2026 campaign, scoring a run in all six games with his .423 on-base percentage. He’s a lock at legal Georgia sportsbook apps to score again on Thursday night as the hottest hitter on the team.
Back Luis Robert Jr., Mets (-128) Vs Giants On Thurs. Night
The New York Mets are the best bet at legal MLB betting sites against the San Francisco Giants with -128 odds to win outright. New York suffered a heart-breaking extra innings loss on Wednesday, but they’re favored to bounce back in San Francisco with David Peterson on the mound.
Mets vs Giants Betting Lines
| Team | Spread | Moneyline | Total |
|---|---|---|---|
| New York Mets | -1.5 (+135) | -128 | O7.5 (-105) |
| San Francisco Giants | +1.5 (-160) | +107 | U7.5 (-115) |
The Giants lineup averages 6.5 hits per game (fifth-worst), making it difficult to keep up with a Mets offense that’s ready to get back on track. Expect Luis Robert Jr. to be a contributor towards New York’s 3.5-run team total with -135 odds to go over.
- Best Prop: Luis Robert Jr. Over 1.5 Total Hits, Runs, and RBI (+110)
While legal CA sportsbooks favor Luis Robert Jr. to go under 1.5 total hits, runs, and RBI at -150 odds, he has great value against left-hander Robbie Ray. Robert Jr. is off to a solid start to 2026, posting a .316 batting average and a 1.000 slugging percentage against lefties.
