This will be the second game of an important series, as both teams are competing for a National League Wild Card spot.

The Braves are a handful of games above .500, and they have been playing decently in their recent matchups. The team won a series against the division-leading Philadelphia Phillies last weekend, and they followed up that performance by splitting a four game series with the Arizona Diamondbacks. These results have placed the Braves atop the National League Wild Card standings, as they try to knock off San Diego tonight.

Notably, the Braves entered this series on a two game losing streak, dropping the final two games against Arizona. This included a tough 1-0 loss on Thursday, where only three Atlanta players recorded a hit.

In order for the Braves to win this evening, they must give their pitchers some help by scoring runs. Atlanta has struggled to consistently play well offensively this season, but they have shown the ability to score numerous runs in a game via their star player Marcell Ozuna.

The Padres are fighting for a wild card spot this year, as they currently possess a winning record. Although, the team has struggled recently, losing four straight games prior to this series. With this in mind, San Diego is trying to turn things around at home against Atlanta this weekend.

The Padres will need to rely on Jurickson Profar offensively, as he leads the team in numerous statistical categories. Profar has a batting average greater than .300 and has about 60 RBI this year, making him their biggest threat at the plate. Since Atlanta has a great pitching staff, Profar will be at a disadvantage tonight. However, he has been hitting the ball well this month.
