It will not be easy to get back on the right side of the scoreboard against a red-hot San Diego Padres team, but the Houston Astros will try in Game One of a three-game home series tonight at Daiken Park in Houston, TX. First pitch is scheduled for 8:10 p.m. EST.
Houston has been struggling to get on track this season; through 18 games, they have yet to win two in a row. The only time they have lost 2+ in a row was a three-game sweep vs. San Francisco. They have one of the lowest team batting averages of the season at .216. But their pitching staff has been one of the best in baseball with a 3.73 ERA (top ten) and 181 strikeouts (fourth best). San Diego, on the other hand, has the best batting average in the league at .274. Their pitching staff has also been top-notch, with a 2.56 ERA and a 1.07 WHIP, while holding opponents to a .193 batting average.
San Diego will turn to Kyle Hart to start the game on the mound for the Padres. In three starts, he’s gone 2-0 with a 5.40 ERA and 1.11 WHIP. Ryan Gusto will get the start for Houston. He appears to be more of an opener, having gone just 2, 2, 3,1, and 4 innings in five starts.

Our San Diego Padres vs Houston Astros Prediction
If the pattern holds, Houston is due for a win, but they are facing a decent pitcher against a potent lineup. Tack on the suspect production coming from their lineup and it becomes a lot harder to justify getting behind the Astros. However, if this is a bullpen game for Houston, the ‘pen’s ERA is 2.94, and they have been playing better at home….
