According to live MLB odds for Opening Day, the Atlanta Braves aren’t just the largest road favorites of Thursday’s slate, they’re also the biggest favorites overall.

MLB Pick: Braves vs. Nationals
Interestingly enough, it’s not the Braves vs. Nationals moneyline that’s garnering the attention of pro bettors, it’s the over/under instead.
Let me explain.
This number was widely available at 8 across the market as recently as Thursday morning, and that’s when the wsieguys struck.
According to Action Labs’ Bet Signals, sharps steamed under 8 shortly before 9 a.m. ET, pushing this total down a half-run to the latest consensus of 7.5 (click here for live MLB odds).
Steam refers to sudden, uniform line movement across the market that is often the result of bettors with the respect and resources to move odds getting down on the same wager at multiple sportsbooks, all at once.
In addition, the Braves vs. Nationals under has landed 73% of the loot but on just 55% of the tickets, another key indicator that oddsmakers are heavy with under money heading into today’s Opening Day matchup.
