The San Diego Padres are on top of what looks like the best division in baseball. There are four teams in the NL West, all playing .600 or better baseball. The Pares are off to a 15-5 mark on the season. The Padres are getting good pitching and hitting on a consistent basis to start the season. They lead MLB in run differential as they are +35. The Houston Astros don't look like the team we have seen in recent years. Houston is just 9-10 to start the season, and they have a negative run differential to this point. San Diego is at a small price, and off the loss last night. I like them in a bounceback tonight. Make the play on San Diego.
