Atlanta has won six of eight and the Braves are 15-5 at home this season and will have Max Fried on the mound and he is 3-0 with a 1.67 ERA and a 0.82 WHIP in four starts against the Padres in his career. Fried has not allowed a run in three of his past four outings, including seven hitless innings against the New York Mets on Saturday. He is 2-0 with a 2.81 ERA and a .183 opponent batting average in four night games this year and the Braves are 17-4 in Fried's 21 career Friday starts. San Diego just got swept at home in a three-game series against last-place Colorado while being outscored 19-7. The Padres are 0-6 in Matt Waldron's past six starts against teams with winning records and 0-5 when he's on five days rest. Atlanta is 7-0 UNDER in the first game of a series, 8-0 UNDER versus teams with losing records and 7-0 UNDER at home against right-handed starters. Take the Braves and the UNDER.
