Boston Red Sox DFS SPIN
Enrique Hernández doubled, stole a base and scored a pair of runs as the Red Sox defeated the Padres on Saturday evening in San Diego. Hernández was hit by a pitch in the second inning, executed a double steal with Raimel Tapia, and then rode home on Enmanuel Valdez’s three-run shot. He then led off the fourth inning with a double and scored on Alex Verdugo’s RBI single. Hernández finished the night 1-for-3 and is now hitting .243/.299/.355 with three homers, 16 RBI and two stolen bases on the season.
San Diego Padres DFS SPIN
Juan Soto slugged a solo homer on Saturday as the Padres fell to the Red Sox. Soto got the Padres on the board with a 409-foot (103.5 mph EV) solo shot on the first pitch Chris Sale threw in the second inning. He also struck out twice and walked in the ballgame, finishing the night 1-for-3. On the season, the superstar outfielder is slashing .248/.401/.478 with eight homers, 21 RBI and three stolen bases in 46 games.

Red Sox vs. Padres MLB BETTING PREDICTION
I like the Red Sox but with the way Kluber has struggled for Boston, I’m taking the under instead. The under is 16-5-1 in the last 22 meetings between these two teams and is 10-2-1 in the last 13 meetings at Petco Park. The under is also 4-1-1 in the Red Sox’ last six interleague road games versus a team with a losing record, is 8-1 in the Padres’ last nine home games and is 14-3-1 in San Diego’s last 18 interleague games overall.
