Atlanta Braves vs San Diego Padres Prediction

The Atlanta Braves aren't in an ideal spot after blowing through their pitching rotation in a doubleheader yesterday just to make the postseason and now don't have Chris Sale. Who knows what the Braves pitching staff looks like? The San Diego Padres are one of the hotter teams entering the postseason, they're at home, fresh, and King has been money all month. King has allowed 18 hits and 4 earned runs in his last 23 innings. This Padres team feels different and with a massive edge schedule-wise, this is a game they should win. I'll lay the cheap price with the Padres at home in game 1 against the Braves.
