"Slam Diego" belted another grand slam on Saturday while beating the Astros 13-2. Trent Grisham hit three home runs, and rookie Jake Cronenworth hit a bases-loaded round-tripper for the Padres' fifth grand slam in six games. San Diego is 16-13 on the runline this season, and it is currently on a six-game winning streak. Houston has been outscored 17-5 in the first two games of the series while the Padres are averaging 8.5 runs during their streak. Zack Greinke will try to slow down the Padres as he gave up eight runs on 14 hits in 20 innings against them in 2019. The Astros have lost seven of their last nine road games, and they are 5-11 their last 16 meetings at San Diego. Going up against Greinke, play the Padres on the run line for a Max Play.

2 units on San Diego +1.5 runs -155 (runline) (risk 2 to return 3.29)
