As a huge NASCAR fan, it’ll be fun to check out Saturday’s MLB Speedway Classic (7:15 p.m. ET, FOX) between the Atlanta Braves and Cincinnati Reds at Bristol Motor Speedway.
Way back in 2001, I visited Bristol for my first-ever NASCAR race and instantly fell in love with the sport, so of course I’m going to watch Braves vs. Reds facing off in Thunder Valley.
Live MLB odds for Saturday’s Speedway Classic list the Braves as -123 favorites against the Reds and an over/under of 8.5, and, more importantly, Action PRO’s premium betting tools have unearthed an extremely sharp pick for tonight’s matchup.
With this in mind, let’s take a more detailed look at the MLB pick attracting waves of smart money for Braves vs. Reds in the Speedway Classic.
MLB Odds, Sharpest Braves vs. Reds Pick
*Odds as of Saturday morning
Fifty-four percent of moneyline bettors are backing Atlanta as of the time writing, suggesting relatively balanced betting.
However, despite Cincinnati receiving just 46% of action, those tickets account for 56% of the real money wagered, indicating that the larger bets are coming in on the Reds.
Additionally, sharps have steamed the Reds on three separate occasions, which, when combined with the bets-vs.-dollars discrepancy I just detailed, helps illuminate why this line has shortened from its opener of +114 to the current consensus of +104.
And finally, a handful of sportsbooks, like BetMGM, are offering Cincy at +105, which is the best price available as of Saturday morning.
