San Diego Padres at Atlanta Braves Prediction

Heading into today’s game, the Braves are the slight favorite at -115. However, I recommend going with San Diego on the moneyline. I’m counting on another strong outing from Jose Musgrove. On the season, Musgrove has an outstanding FIP of just 2.40. As the odds suggest, this should be a tightly contested game. But, look for Padres to pick up the road win.
