The Atlanta Braves are set to visit PETCO Park in San Diego, California for a National League clash against the San Diego Padres. The Atlanta Braves come into this matchup with a 54-37 record, and they will be looking to continue their success after closing their recent series against the Miami Marlins with a win, 4-3. Dallas Keuchel received the starting nod for the Atlanta Braves, and he had success as he gave up 2 earned runs in 7.1 innings. Josh Donaldson had a big game from the plate for the Atlanta Braves as he went 2 for 4 with 1 HR and 2 RBIs.

The Atlanta Braves are set to start Julio Teheran (5-6, 3.75 ERA) who had success in his latest start as he went 6 scoreless innings while striking out 6 batters against the Miami Marlins. Julio Teheran struggled in his 1 start against the San Diego Padres during the 2019 season as he gave up 4 earned runs in 7 innings. The San Diego Padres come into this matchup with a 45-45 record, and they will be looking to continue their success after closing their recent series against the Los Angeles Dodgers with a win, 5-3. Joey Lucchesi received the starting nod for the San Diego Padres, and he struggled as he gave up 3 earned runs in 6.1 innings. Fernando Tatis Jr. had a big game from the plate for the San Diego Padres as he went 2 for 4 with 2 HR and 4 RBIs.

The San Diego Padres have not yet named a starting pitcher due to having 6 healthy starters in the rotation. The San Diego Padres currently rank 16th in the MLB in team ERA (4.54), 14th in strikeouts (788), and 16th in BAA (.252).

The Atlanta Braves have dominated the San Diego Padres as of recent as they have won 15 of their last 22 meetings. The San Diego Padres have not yet named a starting pitcher, but regardless I still like Julio Teheran on the mound for the Atlanta Braves as he brings a respectable 3.75 ERA into this matchup. The San Diego Padres have had anything but home field advantage this season as they are under the .500 mark at PETCO Park while the Atlanta Braves have gone 26-18 on the road. The Atlanta Braves are one of the top teams in the MLB this season and a huge reason for that is their well-rounded roster, and we will see that on display in this one. Final Score Prediction, Atlanta Braves win 5-2.
