San Diego Padres vs Boston Red Sox Prediction: Padres could turn things around

On Sunday afternoon, Major League Baseball action will be broadcast live from Petco Park with a matchup between the San Diego Padres and the Boston Red Sox. 

It has been a losing streak for San Diego at home, going 1-5 in their past six games, and they have a record of 2-6 in their last eight games versus the AL East. However, the total has gone under in eight of their last ten interleague home games. Michael Wacha, who has a record of 4-1 with a 4.06 earned run average and 41 strikeouts so far this season, will get the start for the Padres. As of right now, the San Diego Padres have a 0.435 percentile for the season after 46 games, which places them in the 11th slot in the standings for the National League.

The Red Sox will go with Corey Kluber in the starting rotation. He has a 2-5 record, a 6.41 ERA, and 33 strikeouts so far this year. After Saturday's 4-2 victory for the Red Sox against the Padres in their head-to-head showdown, the Red Sox have now won both of their most recent meetings against the Padres and six of their most recent seven. Boston has a record of 5-2 in their last 7 games played on Sunday and a record of 2-5 in their last 7 games played against teams from other leagues, while the over is 7-3-1 in their last 11 games played against teams from the NL West.

We do not see the San Diego Padres losing this game, despite the fact that this contest is anticipated to be challenging. Although the Boston Red Sox are also playing at a high level, we feel confident backing the over here.
