I like the price we get on the Atlanta Braves here at San Diego Padres Friday night. Braves' lefty Dallas Keuchel (2-2, 3.60 ERA) will make his fifth start since joining the team, and he has been excellent in recent outings. "I feel like I'm in midseason form," Keuchel said after his most recent start. "It took a few starts to build up. I knew it would take a few, but I think I'm there. Mentally, at first it was just trying to get locked in." Keuchel has faced the Padres twice before and is 1-0 with a 1.29 ERA.

The Padres hand the ball to right-hander Dinelson Lamet (0-1, 5.40 ERA) for his second major league start since returning from Tommy John surgery. He might not get much run support from a Padres team that averages just 3.87 runs per game home at Petco Park while Atlanta averages 5.00 rpg on the road.

Padres are 0-8 in Lamet's last 8 starts. Braves are 13-3 in their last 16 road games vs. a team with a losing home record.

8* play on Atlanta Braves.
