Predictions and Betting Preview for the Braves vs Padres MLB Regular Season Game on April 17, 2023
- Where: Petco Park, San Diego, California
- When: Monday, April 17, 2023, 4:05 PM ET
Betting on the Atlanta Braves
- Regular Season Record: 12-4
Right after finishing their previous series against the Padres, the squad led by Brian Snitker managed to enter into a spectacular positive streak, arriving at this game with six consecutive victories after having swept the Cincinnati Reds and the Kansas City Royals last week. So, it’s a great moment for them to take their revenge.
The Braves have become one of the most solid teams during this season’s start, comfortably leading the National League East Division with a record of 12–4 thanks to an offense that averages around 5.44 runs scored per game and has been supported by a pitching staff that is the fifth most effective in the league, allowing only 3.94 runs per game.
Max Fried will take the mound for the Braves in this game, returning to action after leaving the Opening Day game due to injury, where he pitched 3.2 innings and allowed only one run against the Washington Nationals.
Starting Pitcher: Max Fried (0-0, 2.70 ERA)
Betting on the San Diego Padres
- Regular Season Record: 8-9
Things have been different for the Padres since their successful series against the Braves. They’ve only won two of the three games they’ve played since then, which has left them with a shameful negative record at the start of this new week.
Last night, the Padres lost 1-0 at home to the Milwaukee Brewers. Once again, their offensive weaknesses were evident, as they’ve struggled to produce runs early on. They currently have a collective AVG. of .236 and an average of 4.48 runs scored per game.
Surprisingly, San Diego’s pitching hasn’t been great either, but they do have one of their strongest assets in young Ryan Weathers, who has an ERA of 2.70 in 10.0 innings pitched, only allowing eight hits and three runs.
Starting Pitcher: Ryan Weathers (1-0, 2.70 ERA)
JefeBet Prediction
With the Padres struggling to consistently hit the ball, this could be the perfect scenario for Fried to make his comeback and take shape for the rest of the season. He will also have the support of a great bullpen.
However, the Braves had a tough time against the Padres’ pitchers in their previous series, and they don’t seem to have it any easier against Weathers, who is coming off a great performance against another strong offense like the NY Mets.
Therefore, in this Braves vs Padres game, at JefeBet we expect the starters to take the lead, give the opposing offenses a hard time, and leave us with a low-scoring game.
Prediction: Atlanta Braves Moneyline and Under (ATL 4-3 SD)
