Trends

Atlanta is 44-15 in their last 59 home games and 16-8 in their last 24 games against the NL West. The over is 6-2 in Atlanta’s last 8 Sunday games. San Diego is 6-2 in these two teams last 8 head to head meetings in Atlanta.
Pick
The Padres have had very nice wins in Games 2 and 3 of this series and they will go for the series win in this matchup. Atlanta was 6-1 on the year after Game 1 of this series, but they have been out scored by a total of 9-5 in the last two games. San Diego will start Seth Lugo in this game, who held Colorado to one run over 7.0 innings pitched in his first outing. The Braves will turn to Dylan Dodd, who allowed one run over 5 innings of work against the Cardinals in his first start. Both of these pitchers had success in their first outings of the year and I think we are going to see a lower scoring game here. Take the under.
