San Diego Padres vs. Boston Red Sox<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"The
The Boston Red Sox are 4-1 as home favorites of -175 to -200 this season<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

San Diego has lost four games in a row, including a 4-1 setback to Boston as +197 road underdogs Tuesday, while going UNDER the betting total for a second consecutive contest.\u00a0 The Padres are now four games under .500 for the first time since June 10, but are still in good position to make a run in the National League West division.\u00a0 The club is 25-30 in July the last two-plus seasons, with the OVER going 31-23-1 in that situation.<\/p>\n

Padres starting pitcher Edinson Volquez (6-6, 5.50 ERA) is coming off a 9-2 road victory over the Miami Marlins last time out, as he allowed two runs and seven hits over six frames.\u00a0 The right-hander is 3-2 with a 6.23 ERA in nine road outings, with opposing batters hitting .314 against him.\u00a0 Volquez didn\u2019t earn a decision in his only career start against the Red Sox in 2008, as he surrendered three runs (two earned) in seven innings of work.<\/p>\n

Boston has won six of its last seven games, while the UNDER has cashed in its last three affairs.\u00a0 The Red Sox are now 29-16 at home this season, as they lead all of baseball in extra-base hits and rank second in batting average in that situation.\u00a0 The club is 5-2 versus National League opponents this season and has won 14 of its last 18 games in that particular role.\u00a0 Boston is 4-1 as home favorites of -175 to -200 this season, with the OVER going 3-2 in those five opportunities.<\/p>\n

Red Sox starting pitcher Jon Lester (8-4, 4.61 ERA) has won back-to-back outings, including a 7-4 home victory over the Toronto Blue Jays last time out, as he allowed four runs and five hits over seven frames.\u00a0 The left-hander is 3-0 with a 3.24 ERA in six home outings, surrendering three home runs in 41.2 combined innings.\u00a0 Lester will be facing the Padres for the first time in his career.<\/p>\n

Sports bettors will likely back the Red Sox due to their 6-0 mark as home favorites of -151 to -200.<\/p>\n
