Things have been going a bit better at the plate for the San Diego Padres, yet they find themselves comi ng into Friday the losers of four games in their last five. San Diego got out in front of Minnesota on Thursday before falling by two runs, and fell by one run the night before. Prior to that, they managed to take the first of three at home against the Dodgers before suffering a couple more close losses.San Diego is still rocking an 86 wRC+ over the last week with a high 26.1% strikeout rate, but has been able to pad those strikeout issues with a 12.4% walk rate and decent .140 Isolated Power. The strikeouts and general lack of contact have certainly hindered the lineup, but there are still some redeeming qualities.Unfortunately, it seems there are no longer any redeeming qualities with Blake Snell. The lefty did turn in his best start of the season last time out against the Dodgers, striking out six over six frames. He allowed just one hit but gave up two runs thanks to three walks and a homer, which has been the story throughout his career.Snell's battled issues with control f or years and has had a barrel rate of at least 9.8% in three of the last four years, counting this one. He's always been a high-strikeout arm which has helped him limit the damage, but he's struck out just 24.8% of the batters he's faced this season which would be his lowest mark since 2017.He still ranks in the top 10% of all pitchers in whiff rate, but his fastball is getting knocked around too much for that to convert into puchouts.
