Boston at San Diego

Boston is 3,000 miles from home and playing its sixth straight road game out West. These are big parks they're playing in at Oakland and San Diego, scoring one run the last two games combined. They lose the DH for this series, and the Red Sox are 3-7 against a right-handed starter. Boston is a big favorite with shaky Clay Buchholz (5-10, 5.20 ERA) on the mound, and the Red Sox are 9-20 when he starts against a team with a losing record. Boston has lost the last two nights as chalk of -210 and -120. The Padres are 38-21 when scoring first and play their second straight home contest of a nice seven-game stand, so back the big home dog again. Play San Diego.
