The San Diego Padres should win here. However, the line is too thick to tamper with. Snell is currently having a good run. In his last three outings, totaling 16.0 innings, nine hits, and 13 walks, he has only allowed one earned run. Snell's last start saw a bit too many free passes (seven), but he should be able to have a strong performance this time. The Padres' offense had a really bad day on Monday. But with four or more runs scored in three of the previous four games, San Diego now appears poised for an offensive comeback.
