The Padres pitching has been carrying this team in the absence of Tattis. They lead the Majors in ERA and WHIP. While the Pirates have shown some offense against the Cubs this past weekend, they have been hit or miss this season. Pirates’ starter Chad Kuhl has given up seven runs (five earned) in his seven innings of work in two starts. The Pirates have lost six out of their last eight games entering Monday’s action and their poor lineup will have trouble against Snell who is looking for his first win as a Padre.

Play on San Diego minus 1.5 runs.
