The Atlanta Braves and San Diego Padres meet Friday in MLB action at Petco Park. The Braves look for a win after splitting their last 10 games. The Padres need a win after losing 10 of their last 13 games.

The Atlanta Braves have scored 19 runs in their last three games and four or more runs in four straight games. The Braves have won eight of their last 12 games when scoring four or more runs. Freddie Freeman leads the Braves with 172 hits and 82 RBI while Austin Riley and Ozzie Albies have combined for 319 hits and 198 RBI. Max Fried gets the ball, and he is 12-7 with a 3.31 ERA and 148 strikeouts this season. This will be Fried’s second career game against the Padres.

The San Diego Padres have scored 18 runs in their last three games and four or more runs in six of their last eight games. The Padres have split their last eight games when scoring four or more runs. Manny Machado leads the Padres with 151 hits and 96 RBI while Jake Cronenworth and Eric Hosmer have combined for 273 hits and 128 RBI. The San Diego Padres didn’t list a starting pitcher at the time this article was published.

The Braves are 14-5 in their last 19 during game 1 of a series and 5-2 in their last 7 Friday games. The Padres are 0-6 in their last 6 during game 1 of a series and 3-8 in their last 11 home games. The under is 17-8-4 in Braves last 29 overall. The over is 6-1 in Padres last 7 overall. The Braves are 4-1 in the last 5 meetings in San Diego.

The Braves need to keep winning as they close in on the NL East title. Fried has been money as of late, which includes allowing 16 hits and six runs in his last 25 innings. The Padres look like a team that’s ready for the season to end most nights and they’ve pretty much played themselves out a wild card spot. I’ll gladly take the Braves and the more favorable price.
