Despite his 2-6 record, Blake Snell has been solid. However, he’ll be up against his former team, and the Padres rarely seem to back him up with offense. Zach Elfin has struggled on the road, but he and the Rays bullpen should be able to keep scoring opportunities for the Padres to a minimum tonight. Elfin is 8-2, so I’ll take my chances on the Rays at -110 to get their fourth consecutive win.

The Tampa Bay Rays are on a three-game win streak on their West Coast road trip. Today, they will see Padres pitcher Blake Snell, who pitched his first five seasons with the Rays. As great as Snell’s last three games have been on the mound, the MLB-best Rays are going to present a heightened challenge. Take the Rays as they boost their winning streak to four games.

Saturday game. Not sure if you have noticed, but San Diego's Blake Snell finally is pitching like a former Cy Young winner again. The lefty has a 0.75 ERA and 0.92 WHIP over his past four. Snell, who won that Cy while with the Rays, and that surging lineup getting a 1.5-run betting lead is something I won't say no to. Much like a chili dog. Or a Bangles reunion. Tampa's Zach Eflin is starting to crack a bit and has a 5.53 road ERA.
