I would lean toward the under if the number is set at 8. Atlanta owns a 3.38 team ERA and allows opponents to hit just .224, while San Diego carries a respectable 3.85 ERA. The most recent meeting between these teams ended 1-0, showing how effective both pitching staffs can be. With both projected starters entering with solid numbers, this looks like a game that could stay below the total.
