Happy Corey Kluber day. Kluber is replacing Patrick Corbin, who actually has been pitching decently, as a former ace who has become terrible.
The 37-year-old Kluber has a 6.41 ERA and a 1.47 WHIP. I'm not going to fade the Red Sox against the disappointing Padres, but Over is a way to get involved in going against Kluber.
The Padres are way overdue to get clutch hits to bring in base runners. They are batting below .200 with men in scoring position.
The Red Sox are familiar with San Diego starter Michael Wacha, who pitched for Boston last season. The Red Sox rank in the top three in runs, batting average and OPS. Wacha has a 4.06 ERA.
Another plus to the Over is home plate umpire Mark Wegner. He's a hitter's umpire. The Over is 36-24 (60 percent) in games he' been behind the plate during the last four years.
