San Diego Padres vs Atlanta Braves

Atlanta has the edge across all three factors. Reynaldo López (3.50 ERA, 1.26 WHIP) is a significant upgrade over Walker Buehler (5.36 ERA, 1.44 WHIP), who has struggled all season. The Braves are the better team (.586 vs .490), have a superior offense (4.97 R/G, .734 OPS) vs .225/.683 for SD against RHP, and are in excellent form (6-4 L10, W2 streak, 5.5 R/G in L5). Multiple hot Braves bats (Harris, Baldwin, Riley hot recently) vs a San Diego lineup with numerous cold regulars (Bogaerts, Sheets icy). The -156 price is a slight negative value but the multi-factor edge justifies it.
