After blanking the Atlanta Braves 4-0 on Tuesday, the San Diego Padres only need one win more to advance to the next round of the MLB postseason. The Braves might have other plans to force the series to a deciding game on Thursday. The Padres took a 1-0 lead in this best-of-three series with the Braves following a spectacular performance from ace hurler Michael King, who pitched five scoreless innings with 12 strikeouts. Fernando Tatis Jr. opened the scoring with a two-run blast in the first inning while Kyle Higashioka drove two more runs - a sacrifice fly in the 2nd inning and a homer in 8th – to seal the win for the home team. Catching the last wildcard spot in the National League after winning the second game of the doubleheader with the NY Mets on Monday, the Braves didn’t look like a team that belongs in the MLN postseason, struggling to comprehend what exactly had hit them. Failing to score a single run in the match has exposed that have plagued them recently. In the last five games, Atlanta has only averaged 2.9 runs on a. 229 batting average.

Our Atlanta Braves vs San Diego Padres Prediction
The Padres have every attention to finish this wild card series as quickly as possible because the team waiting in the division playoffs is none other than the NL West champs, the LA Dodgers. San Diego tap starter Joe Musgrove to start in the all-important Game 2. Musgrove has been on a groove recently, recording three shutouts in his last five starts. Max Fried, meanwhile, is coming off a shutout against the Kansas City Royals last September 27 but lost two of his last three starts against the Padres. San Diego has been undefeated in their last five games at Petco Park, where they are averaging almost five runs a game this season. Our betting prediction for San Diego Padres vs. Atlanta Braves: Back Padres will cover -1.5 runs, +175, at BetMGM.
