Boston Red Sox Set to Dominate Padres with Strong Pitching Advantage

The Boston Red Sox have demonstrated considerable success in their recent matches against the Padres, boasting a 7-3 record in their last 10 encounters. Additionally, their home field advantage at Fenway Park has proven beneficial with a 6-3 record in their last 10 games. Despite both teams exhibiting strong offensive capabilities this season, the San Diego Padres' pitching staff may ultimately contribute to their downfall. Comparatively, the Red Sox hold a significant advantage in bullpen performance, currently ranking seventh in overall bullpen ERA at 3.45, while the Padres lag behind in 17th place with a bullpen ERA of 4.09.
