A lot was expected of the Atlanta Braves and San Diego Padres this season and neither team has delivered. The Padres are already playing for next year and the Braves are not far from being in that situation. One of the few reasons to watch the Padres is Jake Peavy and he gets the start on Friday for the Padres as they open up a three-game series against the Braves.
SBG Global reports that early MLB betting has the public taking Padres at Home.

“I was definitely better than I had been my previous couple of starts,” Peavy said. “I’m getting back to where if I have decent stuff I’m going to do much better than I have.” Peavy is 1-4 with a 4.70 ERA in six career starts against the Braves.

The Braves go with Jo-Jo Reyes on Friday. He is 3-7 with a 4.40 ERA. He has lost his last three starts overall.

Philadelphia Phillies (44-39) at Atlanta Braves (40-43)
Tuesday, 7:00 pm Eastern
SBG Global Opening Line: Braves - 114 , Total 9 Over -120
Two teams that are expected to be part of the National League East chase meet in Atlanta on Tuesday but neither is playing very well. The Phillies are at least above .500 but they went 4-11 in Interleague play while the Braves are a mess all the way around as they fight injuries and poor play. SBG Global reports that early MLB betting has the public taking Braves at Home.
The Phillies offense has deserted them of late as they have scored two or fewer runs in seven of the last 11 games. “We’re not swinging the bat well,” the Phillies Chase Utley said, “We had a few opportunities, but just not enough.” The Braves are not doing anything offensively either and will be without Chipper Jones on Tuesday. He leads the league with a .394 average but has not started in almost two weeks. “I don’t think Chipper is close to playing,” Atlanta manager Bobby Cox said. “Injuries have hurt us,” catcher Brian McCann said. “You take Chipper out of any lineup and it’s going to be different. We need him to get healthy for this push.” The Braves have a 28-14 record at home this season but that could be changing with all of the injuries. The Braves go with rookie Charlie Morton on Tuesday. He is 1-1 with a 4.24 ERA. He will be opposed by Kyle Kendrick who is 7-3 with a 4.59 ERA. Kendrick has faced the Braves twice this season allowing three runs in six innings and two runs in 5 1/3 innings.

The top two teams in the American League West continue their series on Tuesday night as the Los Angeles Angels host the Oakland Athletics. The Angels are happy to be back playing American League teams after going only 10-8 against the National League. Last year the Angels were 14-4 in Interleague play but didn’t have as much success this season. The problem was that they didn’t have the DH in the National League parks. “I don’t think we have anybody on our team that’s just a true pinch-hitter that’s comfortable with the role,” Angels manager Mike Scioscia said, “That’s not really what a lot of our bench is about.” SBG Global reports that early MLB betting has the public taking Angels at Home.
The A’s are in second place in the AL West and one of the biggest surprises in baseball. “They’re always good,” the Angels Torii Hunter said. “It’s not a surprise. They have a ton of young talent. I saw them in Spring Training and thought they were going to be better than everyone thought.” Rich Harden gets the start for the A’s on Tuesday while Ervin Santana goes for the Angels.

Arizona Diamondbacks (40-39) at Florida Marlins (40-38)
Friday, 7:05 pm Eastern
SBG Global Opening Line: Marlins - 113, Total 9 Under -115
Two teams that have struggled of late will look to turn things around on Friday when the Florida Marlins host the Arizona Diamondbacks. Arizona will look for revenge from last month when they were swept by the Marlins, scoring only three runs in the series. Somehow the Diamondbacks are still in first place in the National League West despite their poor play of late. The Diamondbacks have lost five of their last six games and scored only 12 runs in those games. “It’s miserable,” manager Bob Melvin said, “Especially after the way we started, expectations are high, guys expect to do well, and to go through prolonged periods of it is very frustrating.” Micah Owings gets the start on Friday. He is 6-6 with a 5.11 ERA this season. He is 0-4 in his last five starts with an 8.53 ERA. SBG Global reports that early MLB betting has the public taking Marlins at Home.
The Marlins go with Ricky Nolasco on Friday. He is 7-4 with a 4.31 ERA and has won his last six decisions. He’s 2-0 with a 2.08 ERA in his last three starts. The Marlins are not playing well of late having been swept by Tampa Bay. They were 5-10 in Interleague play and are happy it is over for them. The Marlins have dropped six of their last eight games and nine of their last 13 overall.
