Padres vs. Braves Prediction and Pick
I broke down this pick in SI Betting’s daily MLB best bets column, Walk-Off Wagers:
The Braves have now won two in a row and four of their last five games, with San Diego dropping three of four since the break. The Padres one win was a 19-2 thrashing of the Royals, but they scored just nine runs in their three losses.
Walker Buehler is showing his age in recent starts, allowing nine, seven, and four earned runs in his last three outings. That’s a total of 20 runs in just 11 innings for the righthander.
Reynaldo Lopez has been solid for the Braves, and Atlanta has the best bullpen ERA in the NL at 3.11.
Atlanta is 30-19 at home this season while San Diego is 22-27 on the road. Combine that with how these teams are playing recently, and we should get another Braves victory tonight.
Pick: Braves -147
