Re: Two middle-pair hands, please review

With the very passive nature of the table, betting for value was what as in my mind when I raised with 88. I wasn't sure about it, but I thought since I would usually be drawing, padding the pot would be +EV

This reasoning isn't good. The preflop raise is for value since many limpers will only have 3 outs to hit the flop (holdings like Ax). They could also easily have been limping hands like 76s.
You'll not have the outs drawing to a 2-outer on the flop anyway.
