I will continue to ride Blake Snell until the market catches up. If he were on a big market team or a contending team he'd be Cy Young material. All he's done at home is post a 0.96 ERA in six starts, and the only teams that have really hurt him are the Yankees and Baltimore, both division foes who know him and all on the road. He beat Verlander and the Astros on three hits in Houston last start, the Nationals haven't seen him, and he's striking out more than a batter per inning. That's something Washington can help with, not to mention the fact that the Nationals played late last night in Washington, using bullpen and then flying. The Rays have been at home beating the Yankees. The Nationals are 8-15 against left handed pitching, and the Rays' bullpen has been great lately, while Washington's has not. Gio's  ERA over the last 7 starts is as high as any current situation of his, some of the Rays' hitters have seen him (certainly more than the other way around), and the Rays are above .500 both at home and against lefties - easy call.
