The Padres don't really have a home-park advantage; they're 19-19 at home but have been outscored by 49 runs in those games. Jhoulys Chacin has been solid in recent weeks but still owns a 4.95 ERA. Meanwhile, Braves rookie starter Sean Newcomb has been excellent so far despite not winning a game, stringing together three straight quality starts. Winners of seven of their last nine games, the Braves should roll tonight.

Don't let the 0-2 record for Sean Newcomb fool you. The hard-throwing rookie Atlanta pitcher his given up just four earned runs in 18 1/3 innings since getting the call up. The Braves have won seven of their last 10 overall and eight straight against the Padres.
