Atlanta Braves vs San Diego Padres Predictions 4/17/2023

As the team tries to establish some continuity, the San Diego Padres played baseball at a .500 clip so far this season.

With all-stars Juan Soto, Xander Bogaerts, and Manny Machado as its cornerstones and Fernando Tatis Jr. returning from suspension in less than a week, San Diego has one of the strongest lineups in baseball.

Despite not having starter Joe Musgrove, Tatis, or reliever Robert Suarez yet this season, the Padres continued to compete. The Padres defeated the Brewers 10-3 on Saturday to snap a three-game winless run.

The Padres lineup was rendered ineffective in a 1-0 loss to Milwaukee in the series finale on Sunday. Yu Darvish had a fantastic outing, but the Padres only managed five hits and 11 strikeouts.

For the first game of the series against the Braves, the Padres will pitch lefty Ryan Weathers. Weathers made two starts this year and are 1-0 with a 2.70 ERA. So far, the Padres prevailed in each of his starts.

In his two starts, Weathers threw 10 innings while giving up eight hits and three runs. In two starts, he only struck out five batters while pitching to contact, walking three more.
