Let's break down Game 1 Braves vs Padres odds for this Wild-Card series.
The sportsbooks have the Padres as -166 favorites for Game 1, and it's easy to see why. Coming off a double-header in Atlanta, the Braves just flew across the country for this contest and don't really have a starting pitcher ready to go.
Let's take a look at the latest Braves vs Padres odds and a pick:

Braves vs Padres Pick - Game 1
Padres -166
I don't even need to know who's starting for the Braves to pick the Padres in this one. Literally, everything is working against Atlanta for this contest. They had to play a doubleheader yesterday, then pop some champagne and fly across the country to San Diego. Basically, their entire team is injured, with Chris Sale recently joining Austin Riley, Spencer Strider, Ronald Acuna Jr., and more on the shelf.
On the Padres side, they're rested and healthy — but not rested enough to be rusty. They also have Michael King on the mound, who hasn't allowed more than 2 ER since August 7th. Active Braves also have a collective .286 OPS against King, which is very bad.
Braves vs Padres Prop Pick
Manny Machado OVER 1.5 Hits (+240)
Manny Machado is heading into October hot. The Padres infielder has six homers and a .836 OPS in the last month of play, after a tough start to his 2024 season. He's had a multi-hit game in three of his last 10 contests.
He's also a playoff vet with 178 career postseason plate appearances. Machado has had multiple hits in five of his last 10 playoff games, as well.
