The Padres are finally getting their money's worth out of lefty Blake Snell. A Cy Young candidate this season, he is 5-1 with an ERA of 2.20 in his last seven starts. And he's getting decent run support as well. Neither August nor September has been kind to right hander Hunter Brown. He had some very solid starts early in the season, but his ERA has climbed to 6.00 with an OP BA approaching .300 in the last two months. The Astros are not as good at home as one might expect, barely over .500, and are 3-3 in September. They are tops in the league in OPS over the past couple of weeks. The Padres are 4-2 in September, and while a disappointment on offense this year, have crept into the top ten at .265/.766 in the last two weeks. Brown has pitched a lot of innings for a youngster this year, and had been much less effective in Houston. Snell is as dependable at it gets. Take the Padres, a small underdog to win on the road today.
