San Diego Padres at Houston Astros Preview & Picks

Houston are tipped to overcome a shaky pitcher to win their fourth straight games.

San Diego are sending the better player to the mound, but the Padres have been in horrible form on the road and instil little confidence.

  • San Diego Padres are 2-9 in their last 11 road games
  • Houston Astros are 8-3 in their last 11 games overall
  • The Over has cashed in 14 of Houston's last 18 games

Head To Head

  • This is the first meeting between the teams this season

San Diego Padres Form

San Diego come into this series on the back of a loss but in decent form with four wins in their last six games.

The Padres ended August on a three-game losing skid that saw them lose 6-5 and 5-4 at St Louis, before suffering a 7-2 defeat at home to San Francisco.

They were able to stop the rot on the first day of September as they beat the Giants 7-3 in the second game of that series.

San Diego then backed up that victory with two more wins over San Francisco, winning 6-1 and 4-0.

The Padres cooled against Philadelphia though, sandwiching an 8-0 victory with 9-7 and 5-1 defeats.

Houston Astros Form

Houston come into this series on a three-game win streak that got them back on track after a run end to last week.

The Astros ended August on a five-game win streak that saw them bounce back from a 4-1 defeat with 9-2 and 17-4 wins over the Tigers,

They then backed that up as they travelled to Boston to sweep the Red Sox in three games, winning 13-5, 6-2 and 7-4.

However, Houston’s streak was brought to a sudden halt as they suffered surprise 6-2, 5-4 and 6-1 defeats at the hands of the New York Yankees.

The Astros’ response was emphatic though, as they visited the Texas Rangers and beat them 13-6, 14-1 and 12-3.

Verdict

San Diego's edge at pitcher is likely to be negated by some terrible road form, so we are backing in-form Houston to win again.
