Braves are only getting better, but is it still too soon?

Last season saw the biggest upset in the World Series history since the MLB betting was official, with the Washington Nationals beating all the odds and calculations by winning the title over Houston Astros. National’s chances to win were around 0.1% at the end of May according to MLB Stats and their odds to win the World Series were still as high as +600 heading to the WS – before the start of the season it was around +2000 and the highest in June, +5500.

That rollercoaster of MLB odds tells a story of the unpredictability of baseball and especially the postseason, when things happen quickly and there’s no room for taking a longer slide. The new season in 2020 is likely to start some three months later than usual, but start nevertheless. Currently the biggest favorites to win the World Series are the usual suspects, New York Yankees and Los Angeles Dodgers, with odds of around +300. American League challengers feature Houston Astros at +900 and Minnesota Twins at +1500. From the National League, chasing Dodgers are New York Mets +1700 and Atlanta Braves +1700.

While Yankees and Dodgers seem like certain contenders, along with Astros and Twins of AL, the National League seems a tad tighter. One of the top MLB picks and the best value in current odds seems to be with the Atlanta Braves. In Accuscore’s simulations, Braves are the top team in their division in the regular season and are matching up nicely with their NL counterparts in any playoff-scenario. The AL powerhouses still rank higher in the simulations, but their odds are less than decent at this point.

Braves have been on top of the league for two seasons, despite fielding a young and inexperienced team for the most part. While the Braves’ future seems so bright it is blinding, their performances last season should cause some worries to their rivals already. With the young core getting only better and new, raw talent emerging, Braves overall talent is unmatched in a couple of years – if not now. Young superstars Ronald Acuña Jr and Mike Soroka lead the line and off-season acquisitions of closer Will Smith, reliable veteran starter Cole Hamels and leftfielder Marcell Ozuna bring Braves even closer to legit push for World Series. Keep your eye on the Brave’s win total over under because there could be major value when the line is released. 

If Braves are able to address the issues at 3rd base, either by improved performances by the current players or by trade(s) – which the Braves have more than enough assets for – there’s no question that they should be considered the main rivals for Dodgers and with these odds, the best bet to win World Series 2020.

What is Accuscore?


Accuscore provides predictive analytics on sports, based on the company’s own algorithmic simulation engine which has been under constant development for almost two decades. Sports predictions are an outcome of simulations in which individual games are simulated for thousands of times in order to arrive to the most likely results. These results are then used to create analytical predictions, content and advice for bettors, pundits or any stakeholders in the industry or media field. For the individual US users, Accuscore’s predictions can be accessed through subscription to BetQL.

The Accuscore simulation engine uses the relevant historical data of the players, teams and leagues to predict the outcomes of the games before they have started. The simulation results are based on the individual player performances and weighted according to the teams’ form, opponent and other circumstances that have been proven relevant to the outcome of the match. We have managed to filter out the unnecessary data-points by determining which are important and which are not – this has taken several hundreds of thousands of simulations, cross-references and comparisons of simulation results to actual outcomes.

Accuscore aims to provide independent, unbiased and objective sports predictions for all the customers. We strive to be transparent and all our simulations results are available in the archives. Throughout the years Accuscore has worked with several betting companies, for example Pinnacle and Coolbet, media houses such as Telia and Sporing News, sports teams and leagues, and of course individuals through our subscription service.

Our capabilities include tailoring the sports predictions service to any B2B need with different licensing models, revenue sharing programs or affiliate markets. We can package content based on the simulations in several different ways, which can include automated widgets, unique articles, videos or pure numbers from a feed – whatever suits your needs!

How to use Accuscore sports predictions?

Accuscore’s simulations provide various advantages for both businesses and individuals. The simulations are based on a sovereign algorithmic system and all the simulations are always ran the exact same way. The only variables are the data inputs which the simulation engine then uses to create the sports predictions according to the algorithmic model. The model has a proven track record and for example the NFL picks have provided constant profit over the years.

The simulations provide probabilities for the outcomes of the games which include – depending of the sport – for example the most likely final result, the amount of goals or points and player performances. These sport predictions can be compared to odds in order to make a more educated betting decision or they can be used to support, oppose or adjust ones view on the betting market.

For businesses the sports predictions provide an opportunity to use original content in various forms which can be modified to suit any need, for example: providing more information to customers, attracting traffic or users, as unique content to publish or for other marketing purposes such as short videos for social media. We are happy to tailor our service for each B2B customer.
