T.M. Selection: San Diego Padres

I like the San Diego Padres to beat the Houston Astros on Sunday. After putting up 2 weak performances the Padres finally looked good with a 10-2 win against Houston in their last game. Chris Paddack (7-6, 4.98 ERA) is starting for the Padres and he has been pretty solid lately. The Padres have won their last 4 games with him starting. He has only allowed 4 runs in his last 3 games. The Astros have not been playing well lately with just the 1 win in 4 games. Luis Garcia (10-6, 3.23 ERA) is starting for the Astros and the team has won their last 5 with him starting. Those games were against some weaker hitting teams though. Now the Padres have started to find their bats and he should be in for a beating today. I like the Padres to win this one as they have fallen off a bit and need a win here to get themselves in a better position to get a wildcard spot.

T.M. Prediction: 6-2 Padres.
