San Diego Padres vs Atlanta Braves Prediction

Right when it looked like the San Diego Padres were turning the corner, they put together another losing streak and the offense goes in a hole. The Atlanta Braves have been on fire offensively lately, and Reynaldo Lopez has pitched at an all star level all season. Dylan Cease is missing bats consistently, but he has been hit when he’s not getting the strikeouts. The Padres can’t decide if they’re an average team or a contender. Give me the Braves and the cheap price.
