Braves at Padres Game Thread: 4/18/2023

Game time is coming up soon for the Atlanta Braves, who have gotten off to a red-hot start to the 2023 season and are looking to take a series off of the San Diego Padres after they took one off of them a while back. Atlanta’s got Spencer Strider going on the mound and any time that happens then they usually feel good, but they have to be feeling confident with the way the entire team in general is playing so far. They’ll still have to get the job done against Blake Snell, who’s been struggling to start the season but still has the talent to shut anybody down if he’s on his game.
