At nearly even odds, there is betting value on San Diego to at least keep the score close! Yes, SD has stunk it up lately, but that's why we're seeing value on its side. The Padres, who face ATL southpaw Max Fried, hit left-handers well (.271/.333/.417/.750) and are in a put-up-or-shut-up mode after a home series sweep to the Rockies. I'll bet the Braves' lack of experience against Matt Waldron allows the knuckleballer to keep the game competitive. After a day off, SD's bullpen is solid enough to trust not to blow the game today, as well.
