Atlanta Braves vs San Diego Padres Prediction

I’m looking at the over in this spot. We have two capable lineups and two shaky pitchers. Holmes has been hittable with a 4.33 ERA and 1.40 WHIP, and he’s allowed 20 hits and 11 runs in his last 16.1 innings. King is a good pitcher and has been solid overall this season, but over his last 17 innings, he’s allowed 18 hits and 10 runs. King has also walked 6 in his last 11 innings. We should see some crooked numbers in this spot. Give me the over.
