Houston at San Diego

This may be an improved version of the Astro team that lost 108 games a year ago, but they have not made any progress on the road. Houston comes to San Diego with a woeful 9-35 mark in their four road games, meaning they win on the road just 20% of the time. Those numbers are even worse with J.A. Happ on the mound as the Astros are 1-5 in his six road starts for the season. Overall Happ has claimed the ball 17 times for Houston and opponents have averaged five runs per game in the 17 starts. Kip Wells has found a nice home in San Diego and in three starts, owns a 2.50 ERA for the Padres. Houston has been a train wreck on the road vs. a losing team, where they are 9-42 in their last 51. They are also just 8-24 when Happ starts as an underdog. The Padres are now 9-3 in their last 12 as a favorite of -110 to -150 and Houston has found the win column here just one time in their last seven games. Play on San Diego.
