Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing
As the Red Sox host the Padres on Sunday, keep a keen eye on Willson Contreras. This veteran catcher has been heating up at the plate, batting .320 over the last two weeks. He thrives against right-handed pitching, and with Padres’ starter likely to toe the mound, you can expect him to make solid contact.
The Red Sox have been a nightmare for opposing pitchers at Fenway, averaging over five runs per game, which creates ample opportunities for Contreras to capitalize. Plus, the Padres' recent struggles on the road only add to the equation. With Contreras’ consistent hitting and the conducive hitting environment of Fenway Park, betting on him to record over 0.5 hits feels not just safe, but almost inevitable. The numbers back up the gut feeling — he’s poised to add another hit to his tally and keep the offense rolling for Boston.
