“Easter Miracle: Will the Scoreboard Hatch More than Eggs This Year?”
The Astros are kind of on the downward trajectory that the Padres were a few years ago. They are in a period where they have to figure things out. They still have Jose Altuve and Yordan Alvarez, but their other big names are all gone and their championship window is probably closed. I know they got a lot of flack for cheating, but those days are long gone now and this team is more likely to struggle than it is to make a run. They do get a chance to have their (arguably) best starter on their roster, Framber Valdez take the ball tonight. Valdez is a guy who set the record for quality starts a couple of years ago. He has two of those this season. He also has two brutal ones. In two games against the Giants and Cardinals, he went 9 innings and allowed 12 earned runs. In 13 innings against the Mariners and Mets, he allowed 0 runs. When he is on, he is great, when he is off, he is really bad. His history against the Padres is decent, holding them to 14 hits in 58 at-bats.
