Atlanta Braves at San Diego Padres Preview & Picks

San Diego are backed to cover the line as they win the series opener.

Padres starter Michael King has been in good form recently, while Atlanta have a pitching headache with Chris Sale sidelined.

  • San Diego Padres are 11-4 in their previous 15 games
  • 11 of San Diego’s last 13 wins have been by at least 2 runs
  • San Diego pitcher Michael King is 13-9 with a 2.95 ERA
  • The Under cashed in 3 of the previous 4 meetings

Head To Head

  • San Diego Padres won the regular season series 4-3
  • Atlanta Braves won 6-3 when the two teams last met on July 14

Atlanta Braves Form

Atlanta enter the postseason having compiled an 89-73 record to finish third in the National League East.

The Braves started strongly, but a couple of losing skids over the summer meant they finished six games behind Philadelphia.

They did enjoy some good form in late September though, starting with back-to-back wins in Cincinnati.

Atlanta then rebounded from a loss in Miami with a five-game win streak that was finally ended by Kansas City, setting up a big double-header with the New York Mets on Monday.

The Braves split the series, bouncing back from an 8-7 loss with a 3-0 victory, and that meant they finished behind New York in the standings.

San Diego Padres Form

San Diego come into this playoff series having compiled a 93-69 regular-season record to finish second in the National League West.

The Padres started the season slowly, but really found their form over the summer as they marched into the playoffs.

They enjoyed a good run in the second half of September as they reeled off nine victories in a 10-game spell.

San Diego cooled off in Los Angeles as they failed to build on a 4-2 win over the Dodgers, losing 4-3 and 7-2, but they did bounce back in Arizona.

The Padres won the opening two games against the Diamondbacks, 5-3 and 5-0, before losing their regular season finale 11-2.

Verdict

Atlanta are short-handed at pitcher and are now heading to the West Coast just hours after completing a double-header.

This is a great opportunity for San Diego to get ahead in the series, and we expect that to happen.
