Houston at San Diego

This is a tough situational spot for Houston, playing its seventh straight road game. The Astros are on a 3-9 run in interleague road contests. The offense has looked road-weary while getting shut out the last two games at Seattle, losing 1-0 and 4-0. Starter Jose Urquidy has missed the last two months with a shoulder injury. San Diego is a strong home team (41-29) and is in a race with Cincinnati, trailing the Reds by a half-game in the NL Wild Card race. San Diego is 12-5 in this park against Houston, plus the Padres are 101-65 at home after a five-game stretch where the bullpen ERA was 7.00 or worse. Play San Diego.
