The Braves are 6-0 in their last six road games, 7-0 in Spencer Strider's last seven starts with five days of rest, and 8-2 in the last ten meetings in San Diego.

Atlanta will win consecutive games at Petco Park with another solid outing from their starting pitcher. The Padres are in an offensive slump, scoring three or fewer runs in five of their last seven games prior to Monday's game (they're down 2-0 in the 5th as I write this). They won't break out against the right-hander Strider, who has recorded nine Ks in each of his first three starts (one of which was against the Padres). San Diego is hitting .226 with a .324 OBP and 99 Ks in 337 ABs against righties this season.

Blake Snell (0-2 with a 6.90 ERA and 2.15 WHIP), meanwhile, has been tough to stomach for SD fans. He's clearly struggling with his confidence, which I doubt he will rediscover in time to tame the Braves' strong lineup. Atlanta is hitting .331 with a .408 OBP, and .879 OPS against left-handed pitchers this year.
