Predictions

Expect a high-scoring game with both starting pitchers struggling this season. Spencer Schwellenbach (2-4, 5.02 ERA) has never faced the Padres before, and Randy Vasquez (2-4, 4.66 ERA) has a poor track record against Atlanta. The Padres are getting Xander Bogaerts back for the game, and he could be eager to show he's healed from a shoulder fracture with a big game.

More

• Padres starting pitcher Matt Waldron struck out a career-high 10 batters in his first start against the Braves, in Atlanta in May.

• Padres right fielder David Peralta, who's batting seventh, reached 10 years of major league service time this week.

Game odds refresh periodically and are subject to change.
