Chris Paddack kicks off players weekend on Friday night for the Padres. He’ll take on Eduardo Rodriguez and the Boston Red Sox.
In his last 14 2⁄3 IP, Paddack has given up 13 ER. Most of his issues are coming with 2 strikes. He’s still had an excellent rookie season despite the recent struggles.
The Red Sox find themselves 6.5 games back in the wild card despite their 68-61 record. Of course, ask any Boston fan and they’ll tell you Sox have massively underachieved.
On the other hand, the Friars are 59-67 and 8.
