Our San Diego Padres vs Atlanta Braves Prediction
Neither lineup has been doing great over the last week. Atlanta has hit .235 and San Diego .232, but the Padres did more, scoring 24 runs (six games) to 18 for the Braves (five games). So, there is no real advantage for anyone at the plate in this game, but I have to give the Padres a slight edge on the mound. King has been stingy on the mound at home and will not take it easy on the Braves' lineup. But I wouldn’t count on the Padres lineup to go off, hence taking the moneyline over the run line (and the run line price is too high at -196).
