THE PROFESSOR’S MLB UPPER-DECK BLOWOUT
(MLB) Houston vs. San Diego,
Money Line: -102.00 Houston (Away)
Result: Loss
The Houston Astros take on the San Diego Padres, having lost four of their last six games. The Astros' offense has struggled at the plate having scored just eight runs in their last three games. The Astros will send Luis Garcia to the mound to face the Padres. This season, he has posted a 10-6 record with a 3.23 ERA and 150 strikeouts this season.

The Padres look for a win after splitting their last eight games. The Padres offense has picked up after slumping for a bit. The Padres offense has put up 16 runs in their last three games. The Padres will counter with Chris Paddack on the mound. This season, he has posted a 7-6 record with a 4.98 ERA and 95 strikeouts this season.

Paddack has posted a 6.59 ERA and .330 allowed batting average at home. Garcia pitched well as of late, has allowed just 29 hits and 12 runs in his last 32.1 innings. This is a nice price on the Astros against a team that has struggled over the last couple of weeks.

Play on Houston.
