4 months agoSan Diego Padres starting pitcher Blake Snell finally tossed a scoreless game last Wednesday after 11 starts in 2023. The 30-year-old went six innings and struck out seven batters versus the Miami Marlins, but couldn't nab the win as the Padres fell 2-1. Snell takes the ball on Monday against the Chicago Cubs, who he owns an appealing 1.06 ERA in 17 career innings opposing them. The former Cy Young award winner and ERA title holder looks to continue that momentum, but Snell will need to hone his command considering his 13.7% walk rate. Chicago is third in MLB with 3.79 free passes drawn per game as a club. The southpaw owns reverse platoon splits, though, and is worth deploying in season-long leagues in a good spot overall at home against a righty-heavy lineup and Kyle Hendricks. Snell should garner plenty of DFS ownership on a short Monday slate.--Joseph Barbati - RotoBaller
