Padres took Game One. Can they do it again?

We know that this Padres team has talent but we hardly ever see it from them. I have a hard time trusting this team in any game right now.
San Diego comes into this game sitting with a 23-24 record so far this year and they have lost three of their last four games. I know that San Diego won game one in this series by a score of 3-1.
Prior to this series, the Padres were swept in three games by Colorado, won two out of three against the Dodgers, and won two out of three against the Cubs. San Diego is just 5-6 in their last 11 games, but they are still second in the NL West behind the Dodgers and could take off any time! Can they put a couple wins together here?

Is Atlanta Losing control in the NL East?
We all know how good this team is and how much talent that is just spread throughout this team. The Braves are simply the better team but they have been a little bit off their last few games.
The Atlanta Braves are still 26-15 this season but they have lost three of their last five games. We just seen them drop game one in this series on Friday night and only scored one run in that loss.
Prior to this series, the Braves won two out of three against the Cubs, won two out of three against the Mets, and won both games against Boston. Atlanta has won three series in a row, but they are still four games behind the Phillies in the NL East and can’t afford to lose winnable games!
The Plugs Padres vs Braves Prediction
THE PICK :San Diego Padres ML +102 (1u )
I have not been the biggest fan of this Padres team this season and it is rare when I bet them. I know this won’t be the most popular pick and I do realize that San Diego has struggled over the last two weeks, but they did just get the win in game one of this series and now they will have Yu Darvish on the mound for this game. Darvish has been incredible in his last three starts and yes it won’t be easy facing a very good Atlanta lineup at home but I think he continues to deal. Atlanta is 15-6 at home this season and they have one of the better team ERA’s in baseball. So seeing the Padres and Darvish at this price today makes me think they have a good chance to get another win. This should be another very good game, but I am going with Darvish here, simply the better choice and honestly, I don’t trust all the baserunners that Elder is allowing lately. Take the Padres here to grab another win!
