Braves vs Padres Prediction
The Braves have played their best ball at home, and they look like they’ve found their footing overall recently. Buehler has been a shell of himself this season with a 5.36 ERA and 1.44 WHIP, and he’s allowed 17 hits and 20 runs in his last 11 innings. In 36 innings on the road, Buehler has a 6.50 ERA and a .296 batting average allowed. Yuck. Lopez has been respectable this season, and he’s been at his best at home, where he has a 3.00 ERA and a .195 allowed batting average in 36 innings. The price is reasonable. Give me the Braves.
