Yordan Alvarez leads the majors with 35 homers. Will he go deep against the Padres over Aug 7-9?

Yordan Alvarez did not homer against the San Diego Padres in the three-game series played August 7-9, 2026, at Petco Park, despite entering the set as MLB's home run leader with 35 and an AL Triple Crown bid. Houston won the opener 6-3 on August 7, with Alvarez contributing an RBI single but no home run. San Diego won the next two games, taking the series, including a 7-2 victory on August 9 in the nationally televised Sunday Night Baseball finale. Fernando Tatis Jr. hit a go-ahead three-run homer, pinch-hitter Austin Hays added a two-run shot, and Jackson Merrill and Gavin Sheets also went deep for the Padres, who used Randy Vasquez and three relievers to hold Houston to two hits. Alvarez went 0-for-4 with two strikeouts in the August 8 loss and 0-for-4 again on August 9, extending his homerless stretch through the series. Across the three games, Alvarez finished without a home run against San Diego pitching. The Predict Six community had unanimously predicted YES (100 percent, 3 votes) that Alvarez would go deep in the series; the actual outcome was NO.
