This Monday night will bring the first game of the MLB series between the Atlanta Braves and the San Diego Padres, teams that have remained competitive throughout the regular season. Nevertheless, it’s worth noting that the Braves currently are in a better spot than the Padres, so it makes sense to find out they are the favorite team to win according to the odds.
In this regard, it should be noted that the Atlanta Braves are the third best team in the National League, but unfortunately, they just have a three-game advantage over the Philadelphia Phillies. With this in mind, Bryce Elder is expected to improve his stats, as he earned 3 or more runs in his last four games started, during which he faced teams with marked dualities like the Milwaukee Brewers and the San Francisco Giants.
Meanwhile, the San Diego Padres are 2.5 games behind the Wild Card zone, so they should look to make an immediate recovery after losing their weekend series against the Kansas City Royals. However, accomplishing this objective doesn’t appear to be an effortless task, as JP Sears will just play his fifth game of the regular season after being recalled from the El Paso Chihuahuas last June 23rd.
