The San Diego Padres struck first in Game 1 of their interleague series with the Houston Astros at Petco Park. Will the visiting respond with the equalizer in Game 2? The Padres earned their fourth straight win after grinning out a 3-1 win on Monday. Yu Darvish exorcised his demons and put together his best showing since returning from an injury, pitching six scoreless innings with three strikeouts against a team that had given him a lot of trouble in the past. The win bolstered San Diego’s record to 86-65, still 3.5 games behind the NL West lead, Los Angeles Dodgers (89-61). Meanwhile, the Astros had their four-game winning streak snapped with a loss on Monday. The setback further pushed Houston into a vulnerable situation as their lead on the Seattle Mariners (77-73) was reduced to four games with still two weeks of baseball remaining in the MLB regular season.

Our San Diego Padres vs Houston Astros Prediction

Starting Michael Kings certainly boosts up my confidence about the Padres’ ability to go 2-0 vs. the Astros on Tuesday. Despite a 2-3 record in his last five starts, King owns a solid 2.39 ERA and averages 6.0 strikeouts in that stretch. He also posted strong numbers in his only face-off with the Astros, surrendering one earned run in 5 innings to lead his previous team, the New York Yankees, to a 6-1 win on September 03, 2023. As for Astros starter Hunter Brown, I doubt he hasn’t recovered yet from a disappointing start against Oakland where he conceded 5 earned runs in 5.0 innings. Moreover, San Diego are 6-1 SU in their last 7 games when playing at home against Houston. Our betting prediction for Houston Astros vs. San Diego Padres: Bet on the Padres to win, -120, at BetMGM.
