Astros vs Padres MLB Betting Preview

The spot here is a good one for Machado, and the odds are a bit too high.

Blanco has historically been an average matchup for righty power, but he's due for some negative regression and grades out as a plus matchup.

Machado has been bad this season, but the power has been great.

I have the true odds around +350, making this a great EV bet.

Pick: Manny Machado Over 0.5 Home Runs (19c, Polymarket)
