Padres vs Phillies Probable Pitchers

Left-hander Blake Snell (6-7, 2.85) is expected to pitch for the Padres against Taijuan Walker (10-3, 4.02). Snell will be working on six days of rest and Walker on nine.

Snell has been outstanding over his last seven starts, going 5-1 with a 0.64 ERA. He was masterful last Saturday in beating the New York Mets in San Diego, pitching six shutout innings while allowing one hit, striking out 11 and walking three.

The Padres are just 7-11 when Snell pitches in 2023 but he has made 10 quality starts. He is 1-3 with a 2.72 ERA in nine starts in road games and 1-1 with a 1.55 ERA in five starts in day games.

Padres infielder/outfielder Rougned Odor is 6-for-13 (.462) with a home run off Walker but third baseman Manny Machado is 2-for-17 (.118), designated hitter Matt Carpenter is 0-for-9 and catcher Gary Sanchez is hitless in eight at-bats.

Phillies catcher J.T. Realmuto is 4-for-13 (.308) against Snell with a double and a homer. Conversely, right fielder Nick Castellanos is 2-for-14 (.143).
