Padres vs. Braves MLB BETTING PREDICTION
Take the Braves. It is extremely rare to see the Braves’ offense held to one run like they were last night. I’m willing to bet this won’t happen two nights in a row especially at home. Elder was much better his last time out for Atlanta, if he can give them a competitive out, I expect this Atlanta offense to bounce back in a big way on Saturday night.
MLB BETTING PREDICTION: Braves -115
