AMEDEUS' MLB GOLD STRIKE!
(MLB) Atlanta vs. San Diego,
Money Line: 107.00 San Diego (Home)
Result: Loss
The Braves are coming into this game with a 51-41 record this season and they were starting to heat up in their recent games, but now they have lost their last 2 straight games and they were shut out in their last game, losing 1-0 to the Diamondbacks in a series they split with them. They are going up against a Padres team that is 49-47 this season and has not been playing well recently, losing their last 4 straight games, but their pitching was much better in their last game as they only lost 2-0, and that is something they will have the advantage with here. Randy Vásquez is starting for the Padres in this game and he is 2-4 with a 4.66 ERA this season. He has been pitching very well in his recent starts, allowing 2 earned runs or less in each of his last 3 starts as well as 4 of his last 5 starts. He has also been very good at home as he has only allowed 3 earned runs combined in his last 3 starts there, pitching at least 5 innings in each of those. Spencer Schwellenbach is starting for the Braves in this game and he is 2-4 with a 5.02 ERA this season. He has been struggling in his rookie season as he has allowed at least 4 earned runs in 2 of his last 3 starts. He has also been much worse on the road as he has had 3 road starts this year, allowing 12 earned runs total in a little less than 16 innings pitched. The Padres have struggled to score runs in their recent games, but the Braves offense just got shut out in their last game as they are cooling down now and with the way Spencer Schwellenbach has been pitching in recent starts, this is the spark that this Padres offense needs to bounce back from their losing streak. The Padres will win this game at home.
