San Diego Padres vs Atlanta Braves Prediction

The San Diego Padres are just one of those teams that can’t decide what they want to be, and it makes them hard to figure out. With that said, Chris Sale is the current betting favorite to win NL CY Young, while Randy Vasquez has been up and down and gives up a lot of traffic. A talented lineup like the Braves could give Vasquez issues. This is about the pitching matchup, and Sale is having one of his best seasons of his career. Give me the Braves and the RL to shave down the juice.
