The San Diego Padres will look to Blake Snell for a victory after a destabilising loss to the New York Mets on Friday night. The ex-Cy Young Award winner seems to be the ideal man for the job on the mound for his team, which looked generally well lately, winning three of their last four games.

Snell’s last start ended in a 10-3 win for the Padres against the Los Angeles Angels at home last Monday when he pitched five scoreless innings with seven strikeouts.

Backing Snell is the Padres’ offense which is supporting him with 4.50 runs per nine innings. Juan Soto leads the Padres this year with a .915 OPS while Fernando Tatis Jr. is slashing .287/.346/.528 while leading the team too with 16 homers.

Starting pitcher: Blake Snell (5-7, 3.03 ERA).

The New York Mets are finishing the first half of the 2023 MLB regular season on a solid note, but they can build more momentum by defeating the blazing Padres to open a new series this Friday. David Peterson will take the mound for the Mets today, he is off an impressive performance in an 8-4 victory over the San Francisco Giants at home last Sunday.

Peterson permitted only an earned run on three hits in four innings in that competition. Peterson’s ERA is nothing to write home about, but he’s doing the work to lower it over his last few starts as he continues to improve.

Last May, his ERA was 8.08 but is now at 6.61 after two starts. The Mets on the other hand will stay hot on offense when they meet Snell. New York players have a career batting average of .281 against Snell. Pete Alonso is a 5-for-13 lifetime in that matchup.

Starting pitcher: David Peterson (2-6, 6.61 ERA).

MatchPlug Prediction

The Padres’ bullpen got spent in the loss to the Mets on Friday, which could be an issue for the team even with Snell pitching well. Take New York to win.

Final Prediction: San Diego Moneyline.
