San Diego Padres at Atlanta Braves Prediction

In this matchup, I recommend taking the Padres to pull off the upset over Atlanta. Against left-handed pitching, the Padres have the 7th best slugging percentage at .395. This includes 14 home runs with lefties on the mound, 2nd best in the league. Look for San Diego to have a good scoring night, as Charlie Morton has yet to pitch as well as he did last season.
