San Diego's Blake Snell owns a 2.77 ERA in two career appearances against the Cardinals. He's backed by the 5th best bullpen in the NL with a 3.85 ERA. Snell faces St. Louis' Miles Mikolas who owns a 5.73 ERA over his last two starts. The Cardinals have a slight bullpen edge, 4th in the NL with 3.75 ERA. However, over the last seven days, the Padres are batting .257 with a .758 OPS, while the Cardinals are batting .175 with a .526 OPS. San Diego also has a better wRC+, 102, than the Cardinals, 72, during that span as well. I'm on the Padres.

Blake Snell has been very hit or miss this season but Miles Mikolas has struggled even more lately. Mikolas is also 5-9 with a 4.56 ERA on the road. The Cardinals are the 3rd best team in the last 30 days in wOBA against lefties. However, Snell has been a lot better lately and when he is on, he is untouchable. The Cards are dealing with some injuries right now and haven’t been playing their best lately. I like the Padres at home.
