Boston Red Sox at San Diego Padres MLB Pick – August 25th

Posted November 25, 2019

It does feel good to run good! A different winner was picked up by us last night, our ninth triumph in out past eleven bets, when that the Boston Red Sox were backed by us against the San Diego Padres, on the road. I believed that even though the Red Sox were little favorites (-119) they were being undervalued. When assessing a game the public will place much focus on the beginning pitching matchup, and the hate Nathan Eovaldi, for Red Sox starter, looked somewhat intense considering this man was the protagonist of the Red Sox championship run.
And Padres rookie although he’d looked decent in his last couple of starts, is in his second year in the big leagues, and I felt he went to have a rude awaking against this Red Sox lineup. I anticipated Boston to find a way to win this match and laid a wood. And that’s just what happened.
Because he has tagged for four runs on the games first four innings, boston jumped Lamet frequently and early. At the night, he picked up a no-decision and lasted only five innings. And he is used more like an opener now compared to a rookie, while Nathan Eovaldi looked shaky, and the Red Sox were quick to pull on him.
This game hit on the ninth inning tied up in four runs apiece, and Boston was able to score a series on star closer Kirby Yates to take the lead from the games frame. Boston left the bases loaded in the ninth, so it might have been worse to Yates. Brandon Workman pitched a perfect bottom of the ninth for Boston and arrived, and we all picked up the win.
The triumph was the Oakland Athletics and a large one as they did manage to create some ground on the Tampa Bay Rays, who lost . Boston is just six games back and closing of the wild card as the season winds down. For the bet of today, we’ll remain right here in San Diego, since the Red Sox and Padres wrap up the show.
The San Diego Padres host the Boston Red Sox tonight in game three of a set, looking to avoid getting swept. The Red Sox have outscored the Padres 16-4 in the first two games of the series and would like to pick up the sweep tonight. Boston has won out seven of its last nine matches as they attempt to fight their way back. For the Padres, they’ve dropped eight out of the last eleven games, along with the lineup seems way out of forms with no superstar rookie Fernando Tatis Jr on the field.
Starting today for the Red Sox is Brian Johnson (1-2 6.58 ERA), and also for the Padres it is Joey Lucchesi (8-7 4.20 ERA). The game is set at nine runs. The Padres are all -113 home favorites. First pitch is scheduled for 1:10 PM PST in PETCO Park in San Diego.
Brian Johnson has not been very good this year. He has been utilized between the starting rotation and the bullpen, which makes fifteen looks. His ERA of 6.59 definitely leaves something to be desired. But when you take a bit closer look at Johnson’s results, it actually was just one lousy outing that is currently weighing down his stats.
On April 5th, he has blasted for seven runs. After that game, he had been closed down with knee inflammation and didn’t pitch again for months. And with restricted use since thenhe has not had enough innings to wash that tough patch. That doesn’t mean he has been great apart from that, but more average . The former first round selection is being used like an opener, similar to Eovaldi, and they will be quick to pull him from the match, if he fights.
Joey Lucchesi was hot and cold this season. At times he seems excellent, other times, not so much. Right now, he’s looking very fair as from the month of August that he 1-2 with a 4.57 ERA in four starts. And it may be even worse for Lucchesi as he has nine walks this month and has done a fantastic job of working into and back out of jams.
One thing that has been constant for Lucchesi this year is that when he’s still on the mound, the Padres tend to eliminate a lot. The Padres have lost nine out of the past twelve begins, and they are if Lucchesi starts.
That is another number. Yeah, Brian Johnson was weak this season. However, he’s been better since returning from injury, and if he’s ever likely to seem good, it’ll be tonight against a Padres team that can’t reach the ball with no Tatis in the lineup. And we are enjoying playoff-style baseball and saw that the Red Sox are maintaining their starters. Expect him to get pulled before the Padres may do real damage, if Johnson struggles early.
When you look at Joey Lucchesi, is not not like he’s a world-beater. The guy is currently averaging only over one winning a conclusion a month. Yeah, he’s looked ok against the likes of this swinging Tampa Bay Rays and Seattle Mariners.
But when he’s faced teams that may hit at the ball like that Red Sox team has, he has not been great. He’s confronted the Dodgers in the last two months and has given up a seven earned runs. And against the Cubs late last month, he also got blasted for six runs in four innings. I think a way today to place upward many runs on the plank against Lucchesi is found by Boston.
The Red Sox have dominated this series thus far. They came into this set as the group that was much superior, and it has shown in both these games. Yeah, perhaps you may give a slight nod to Lucchesi over Johnson on the mound, but that isn’t likely to frighten me off the fact that I get to rear the defending world champs, who are on fire at the moment, obtaining dog money against an outside of emptiness Padres team.
I have preached it all season long, quit making your bets all based on the pitching matchup! Yes, the starting pitching matchup issues, a lot. But in which the team is becoming dog money, while you see a number, you must exploit it. And that’s exactly what we can do. Give me the Boston Red Sox now as they finish off the sweep of the Padres!
