It is hard to believe that this is the same team from a year ago that notched 90 wins, as the Padres still have solid pitching, but where does the 10-21 record come from at home? It comes from sleeping bats and a lineup void of clutch hitting. The Padres in their last 14 home games have scored all of 22 runs. That is 1/6 of all their home games on the season, and the numbers are ugly at 1.6 runs a game. The Astros’ offense is showing very little on the road, leading to a 9-3 mark to the UNDER in their last 12 away from Houston. The Padres have compiled a 19-8-1 mark to the UNDER in their last 28 at home vs. a losing team. Put that all together and these clubs have combined to go 18-6-2 in their last 26 meetings in San Diego to the UNDER. Take the UNDER in this one.
