The San Diego Padres may have taken three out of four against the Atlanta Braves earlier this month but it will be hard to win three games again in their next series, which starts later tonight at Petco Park. Forget three games—on paper, it’s going to be hard to win two of the three.
The Braves are coming to San Diego with a six-game winning streak, as they swept the Cincinnati Reds and the Kansas City Royals in their last two series. Atlanta scored more than three runs in four of those six games. The Padres did it just twice in their last six.
