The Padres took control of the series with a 4-0 victory in Game 1. The Braves, still recovering from a makeup doubleheader against the Mets and a long flight to San Diego, showed signs of fatigue. They managed just one extra-base hit, a double, and six singles, failing to generate any offensive momentum.

BetMGM Odds & The Big Lead Prediction
Atlanta Braves (+105) vs. San Diego Padres (-125)
The Braves need a spark to bounce back, while the Padres are riding high with the series lead. BetMGM Sportsbook has the odds in favor of San Diego, given their Game 1 momentum and the home-field advantage. Still, with Fried on the mound, Atlanta has a fighting chance.
Our Pick: This one could go either way, but with Fried pitching, the Braves might edge it out to force a Game 3.
