The Atlanta Braves find themselves struggling in the 2025 MLB season, with a disappointing 33-39 record, trailing the National League East by 11 games. However, they have managed to secure victories in their first two games of the series against the New York Mets. Matt Olson has been a key player for the Braves, contributing with an RBI in both games and totaling six over his last five games. This trend aligns with betting insights suggesting that Olson is a strong candidate for the Over 0.5 RBI prop for Thursday's game.

In addition, the model has highlighted several promising player prop bets for Thursday, including Pete Alonso, who, despite a recent slump, leads the league with 63 RBIs and boasts a strong history against the Braves' probable starter, Spencer Strider. Manny Machado also stands out with a favorable matchup and a solid RBI tally in previous games. With the Braves' recent improvements and the betting odds favoring Olson, fans and bettors alike should keep a close eye on these player performances as the season progresses.
