The SF Giants are limping to the finish line after being swept by the San Diego Padres. Blake Snell will take the hill on Tuesday for what could be one of his final starts in a Giants uniform.

SF Giants probable pitchers & starting lineups vs. Baltimore Orioles, September 17

The Giants have a 72-78 record, which is the fifth-worst mark in the NL. At this pace, they will not even reach last year's win total of 78. That would be a colossal disapointment for an organization that invested $250 million in this year's roster.

Snell continues his strong second half that will only help his case in free agency. The southpaw pitcher has only allowed more than two earned runs one in his last 12 starts. That came in an outing against the Washington Nationals where he yielded three earned runs in six frames in a 7-4 victory. Overall, Snell has posted a 3.52 ERA in 18 starts this year.

Who is hot?

It has been a quiet second half for Heliot Ramos as he has slumped to a .668 OPS with seven home runs and 22 RBI in 208 plate appearances since the All-Star break. However, he did tally the first ever splash hit from a right-handed hitter on Sunday. Ramos has now registered a hit in nine of his last 10 games.

Who are the SF Giants facing?

The Giants are facing off against 'ol pal Albert Suárez. Suárez spent two seasons with San Francisco beginning in 2016 and re-emerged in the majors with the Baltimore Orioles earlier this season after an extended absence. The veteran hurler has a 3.39 ERA in 29 outings for Baltimore this season.
