Astros Win in Extras 

It wasn’t the prettiest game on Tuesday the Astros were able to secure the 4-3 victory in extra innings. Hunter Brown went six innings giving up five hits and two runs.  The Astros are averaging 4.61 runs while their pitching is giving up 3.99 runs per game. The offense is ranked 12th in the league while the pitching is ranked 5th. Yordan Alveraz has hit 34 home runs and driven in 85 RBIs so far this season. Getting the start for the Astros will be Framber Valdez who sits with a 14-6 record and an ERA of 2.91. In his last start against the Oakland Athletics, he gave up five hits and one run. 

Padres Blew it Late

The Padres had a chance late on Tuesday to pull out the win, but they couldn’t get the job done and they ended up losing. Micheal King went seven innings giving up five hits and two runs.  The Padres are averaging 4.76 runs while their pitching is giving up 4.18 runs per game. The offense is ranked 8th in the league while the pitching is ranked 11th. Manny Machado has hit 26 home runs and driven in 100 RBIs so far this season.

In his last start against the San Francisco Giants, he went six innings, giving up four hits and zero runs. 

Houston Astros vs San Diego Padres Prediction

The Astros bats are going to be ice-cold here. Cease is coming off an elite start and it’s going to be much of the same here. Valdez in his last start gave up only one run and he’s going to have quite a strong start here. Neither team is going to reach three runs and that will be the difference. Back the under. I would also bet this down a run or two for even more added value. I love this bet.
