OUR PICK: Despite the under being 6-0 in the last six meetings between these two teams in San Diego, the over is the better bet today. That’s because the over is 8-2-1 in the Padres’ last 11 home games and 9-1-1 in their last 11 interleague home games versus a team with a winning record. The over is also 6-2-1 in the Red Sox’ last nine games overall and 12-4 in their last 16 games versus the National League West. With Jackson on the mound and Boston’s offense due to rebound after being shutout yesterday in Oakland, the over is the play today in San Diego.
