2024 MLB Wild Card: Atlanta Braves vs. San Diego Padres series odds

The Atlanta Braves and San Diego Padres meet in the Wild Card round of the 2024 MLB Playoffs, and the series begins one day after the Braves played a dramatic doubleheader during which they clinched a playoff spot.

The teams will play in San Diego, and the winner of the series will face the No. 1 seed Los Angeles Dodgers, who are the favorites to win the World Series heading into the playoffs.

While a tough matchup awaits the winner of this best-of-three series, these teams can find a silver lining in the fact that three of the four teams that received Wild Card round byes last season ended up losing in the Divisonal Series.

The Padres won the season series against the Braves 4-3. San Diego took three games of a four-game series played in Atlanta in late May, and the Braves won two of three games in San Diego in July.

This means these teams have not played in over two months. The second series between these teams was each team's last series before the All-Star break, and San Diego caught fire to go 43-20 post-break after starting the season 50-49.

The Padres' outfield trio of Fernando Tatis Jr., Jackson Merrill, and Jurickson Profar has driven its success, and the team has gotten plenty of production from Luis Arraez, Jake Cronenworth, and Manny Machado.

The Braves have been without ace starter Spencer Strider and 2023 MVP outfielder Ronald Acuna Jr. for much of the season, so they've relied on Marcell Ozuna and Matt Olson at the plate while veteran starters Chris Sale and Max Fried have led the team on the mound.

Let's take a look at the series odds for Braves-Padres in the Wild Card round.
