The Astros go for the sweep today against the Padres with Framber Valdez on the mound. They're 6-5 at home and 10-10 all together, but the sweep likely doesn't occur because of Dylan Cease. Valdez gave up seven runs in his last start against St. Louis and allowed 10 hits in four innings of work. The Padres are 15-6 this season but only 3-5 on the road. They need to fix that road record tonight, and the number one bats (.275) in MLB take care of business. Padres to win.
FanDuel. Framber Valdez gets a tough matchup against the Padres. San Diego has the ninth lowest called plus swinging strike rate, and the third lowest strikeout rate against left-handlers this season (17.5%). I’d bet this to -155.
