The San Diego Padres look to start 4-0 for just the second time in franchise history after beating the Atlanta Braves in three consecutive games.

The first edition of Sunday Night Baseball for the 2025 Major League Baseball season has its first pitch from Petco Park in San Diego scheduled for 7 p.m. ET (ESPN). 

Both teams are missing some firepower from their lineups, with Ronald Acuna Jr. still recovering from an ACL injury and Manny Machado leaving last night’s game with a calf injury.

Our Braves vs. Padres Sunday Night Baseball player props suggest other players will pick up the slack in the absence of those superstars, especially since the full-game O/U is 8.5 runs.

We also analyzed this matchup further in our Braves vs. Padres Sunday Night Baseball prediction.

I expect the Braves to earn their first win of the season, which I picked in my Braves vs. Padres prediction.

Atlanta needs a catalyst for an offense that has scored just seven runs through three games. So, what better player to go yard than Ozuna, who has a .990 career OPS against Nick Pivetta?

This is a two-star play, as four of Ozuna’s six career hits against Pivetta have been home runs. In addition, Pivetta’s HR/9 rate has increased for four straight seasons.

⚾ Best Luis Arraez prop pick: Arraez to record 2+ hits ⭐⭐⭐

Best odds: +175 via FanDuel ($10 to win $17.50)

Arraez is a career .322 hitter who has already won three batting titles in seven seasons. Arraez had a 43.4% square-up rate last season, which means he made excellent contact on more than four of every 10 balls he put in play.

Arraez is not a strikeout threat, as he struck out on just 4% of his plate appearances last season. With his odds at a steep -300 to record at least one hit, this is excellent value for him to finish with a multi-hit game. Of our best sports betting sites, FanDuel is the place to trigger this one.

⚾ Best Nick Pivetta prop pick: Over 5.5 strikeouts ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Best odds: -130 via FanDuel ($10 to win $7.69)

Pivetta should have some extra life on his pitches tonight, as this is his first start in a Padres uniform. He had an 11.5 K/9 rate in spring training, and his highest strikeout rates came in each of his last two seasons.

He has held current Braves hitters to a combined .216/.272/.487 slash line with 24 strikeouts in 97 at-bats. This is a four-star play, as Atlanta struck out at the eighth-highest rate last season, and Pivetta should last long enough to reach the six-strikeout plateau.

Mike started in the sports writing industry in July 2019, and gained a lot of followers in his first year after finishing with the No. 2 overall record in an annual NFL betting competition, which made picks against the spread, and from an Over/Under and moneyline perspective. Mike is an avid fan of the NFL, MLB, tennis, and all college sports. In his opinion, March Madness is the best sporting event there is, and he's especially euphoric starting with conference tournament time in college basketball. Mike's a big advocate of "fading the public" and making plays that are contrarian, constantly citing that "there are reasons why they have those big shiny buildings in Las Vegas." When making wagers, Mike always scours the best odds at all of the major sports betting sites, where he mostly sifts through DraftKings, FanDuel, BetMGM, and bet365. He's tried several others and is of the firm belief that bettors should not just stick to one sportsbook, as there is always likely better value to be had with the same wager. In addition, while Mike received his undergraduate degree from Villanova University, he has no issue betting against the Wildcats when it comes to college basketball wagering, and suggests other bettors should always put their “head” before their “hearts.”
