We like the Atlanta Braves to defeat the San Diego Padres on Sunday at 7:10pm ET for a number of reasons. Here are some of the more important ones:

Atlanta got quite unlucky yesterday, losing 1-0 with an unfortunate bounce leading to SD's only run.

The Braves have now lost each of the first three game but has pitched really well in this series.

They will start AJ Smith-Shawver and he's eager to begin this season after only pitching once last year (he's still just 22 years old.)

San Diego starts Nick Pivetta today. He's looking for a good start at his new team.

The Padres have given up just seven total runs through these first three games.

We think this is another low scoring game.
