3 years agoSan Diego Padres starter Blake Snell was blasted for seven earned runs in 3 ⅓ innings Wednesday against the Colorado Rockies. Despite his season-long woes, fantasy managers had been buoyed by Snell's 32 percent strikeout rate, but he had nothing today, fanning just one in the nightmare outing. Six of nine hits allowed went for extra bases and he also issued two walks. The 28-year-old southpaw stares at a bloated 5.72 ERA and 1.57 WHIP through 61 ⅓ frames (14 starts) as a 4.70 xERA suggests Snell's struggles are no fluke. Barely a streamer candidate until he shows signs of life, Snell draws a tough matchup against the Los Angeles Dodgers at home next Monday.--Andrew Le - RotoBaller
