Blake Snell on a Mission: Padres vs. Rockies Set to be a One-Sided Affair

Blake Snell is on a mission. He appears to be a strong candidate for the Cy Young Award this season. He has faced Colorado twice in 2023, allowing four runs on nine hits and one walk in 11.1 innings. The current Rockies have an anemic 19-for-90 record against Snell, with four doubles and two home runs. The Rockies have struggled on the road, winning only two of their last 17 games. It seems unlikely that the Rockies will be able to get anything going against Snell. San Diego -1.5 is my best pick for the Rockies vs. Padres game.
