3 years agoSan Diego Padres starter Blake Snell bounced back with five innings of one-run ball Tuesday against the Oakland Athletics, earning his fifth win. After getting pummeled by the A's for seven earned runs last week, Snell skirted around six hits and three walks to fan six over 105 pitches. While far from efficient, the outing was relatively pain-free for the left-hander aside from being victimized by outfielder Starling Marte for three hits including a homer. Through 89 ⅓ frames, Snell still owns a poor 5.24 ERA and 1.62 WHIP while maintaining a 27 percent strikeout rate. With a 14 percent walk rate, the 28-year-old has failed going deep into games, with just three quality starts in 20 starts. He'll square off against the Miami Marlins at home next week and is worth the fantasy gamble for teams comfortable under any innings restrictions.--Andrew Le - RotoBaller
