The price is low enough to back the superior Braves against the cold-hitting Padres.

While Atlanta has scored 5 or more runs in five of its last six games, San Diego has managed just four runs in its last three games.

The Padres have lost four in a row.

I don't see Randy Vasquz, 2-4 with a 4.66 ERA, stopping the losing streak.

But I do see a buy sign on Braves rookie Spencer Schwellenbach, who held the Phillies to one run in six innings with six strikeouts and no walks this past Saturday. The Padres have never faced Schwellenbach, giving him the element of surprise.
