SDG: Peavy (1-1, 7.36 ERA)
ATL: Smoltz (0-1, 6.75 ERA)
San Diego sends the ace of its staff to the hill Saturday as the dog Padres take on John Smoltz and the rest of the Braves.
The Padres start Jake Peavy, 1-1, 7.36 ERA. His last trip was a loss, a 10-4 team loss against the Rockies, when he threw 4 innings, allowing 8 runs on 11 hits.
Sporting a 3-6 overall record and a 1-4 mark within the division, the Padres aim to knock the Braves (1-2 in the division) for a loss.
Oddsmakers like the Braves in this one, opening the line at 125 in favor of Atlanta. They are 5-6 this season, while the Padres are 3-6. The total, which is 9-1-1 to the OVER in Braves games and 6-1-2 in Padres games, opened at 8.
Bobby Cox's team was busy last game winning against San Diego 5-4 as favorites. The 9 runs sent that game as a push against the total of 9.
The Braves need to cut down on the strikeouts and get some runners on base - they are whiffing 7.7 times per game. The hitters need to make some contact.
Some trends to consider:
San Diego is 2-8-0 SU in its last 10 games after scoring 4 to 6 runs
San Diego is 2-4-1 OU in its last 7 games away against Atlanta
San Diego is 4-1-1 OU in its last 6 away
San Diego is 17-6-1 OU in its last 24 games against Atlanta
Atlanta is 15-1-1 OU in its last 17 games
Atlanta is 7-1-1 OU in its last 9 at home
Atlanta is 17-6-1 OU in its last 24 games against San Diego
Atlanta is 6-3-0 SU in its last 9 games after scoring 4 to 6 runs
