Xander Bogaerts returns to his longtime home of Boston, Massachusetts to take on his former Red Sox on Friday night. Typically befitted in red on Fridays, Bogaerts may be seeing red in more ways than one after the Red Sox declined to make him a suitable offer. The Aruban jetted off to San Diego, joining another former Bostonian in Don Orsillo, who served as broadcaster for the ballclub for many years before an odd parting of ways. It remains to be seen if the shortstop will actually play in Boston this weekend as he still grapples with a fractured left shoulder. Nick Pivetta will start for the Red Sox on Friday, who has gone 4-4 with a 4.06 ERA this season. Randy Vasquez will make just his 16th ever MLB start for the visitors. The young hurler pitched for Boston’s arch-nemesis Yankees last year, going 2-2. He is now 2-4 through his first 11 starts in 2024.

Boston Red Sox - San Diego Padres Key Points

  1. The UNDER is 20-17-3 at Fenway Park this season
  2. San Diego averages 2.4 runs vs Boston in their last 10 meetings
  3. Vasquez allowed 0 ER in his last start
  4. The UNDER is 21-18 in San Diego’s road games

Our Boston Red Sox vs San Diego Padres Prediction

Padres’s games have been high-scoring of late, and Fenway is a hitter-friendly ballpark. But a total of 9.5 runs is a drastic departure from the 8s and 8.5s we have seen so often in Red Sox games this year. We believe this is an overreaction to recent results and have trust that Pivetta and Vasquez can keep this game in control until handing it off to their bullpens. Our San Diego Padres vs Boston Red Sox prediction: Under 9.5 runs (-115) at FanDuel.
