San Diego at Boston

April 5, 2026
img1:35 PM Eastern

The Red Sox are off to a bad 2-6 start. Aside from Wilyer Abreu, Boston's hitters haven't been producing. The Red Sox are 28th in runs scored. San Diego is off to a slow start, too, at 3-5. The Padres are having even worse offensive problems than Boston. San Diego ranks 29th in runs and last in batting average, homers and OPS. Padres starter Walker Buehler won't lack motivation going against Boston, the team he played for last season. Red Sox starter Ranger Suárez should have plenty of incentive, too, after a poor performance against the Astros in his Boston debut six days ago. Suárez was 12-8 with a 3.20 ERA for the Phillies last year. The bullpens could get added work as rain is likely, which would lead to a delay. The Padres' bullpen had the lowest ERA last season and Boston's bullpen finished with the second-lowest ERA. The first two games of this series went UNDER. This one should, too. Take the UNDER.
