Game Overview
The Boston Red Sox (78-63), in a playoff push, face the Arizona Diamondbacks (70-71) at Chase Field. The matchup pits rookie Boston pitcher Payton Tolle, showing promise with a 3.38 ERA and strong strikeout potential, against veteran lefty Eduardo Rodriguez, who has struggled at a 5.40 ERA. Arizonaβs power bats are a threat at home but overall offensive consistency is an issue. Boston has been strong recently with a 7-3 run in their last 10 games.

- Boston has momentum with a solid recent stretch (7-3 in last 10), fighting for playoff positioning. Arizona is below .500 overall but has a winning home record due to power hitting.
- Limited recent head-to-head data, but Boston historically holds a slight edge. Arizonaβs Eduardo Rodriguez is a former Boston hurler, adding intrigue.
- No major injuries reported impacting starting pitchers or core hitters in this matchup.
- Chase Field favors pitchers slightly with a low run factor (0.998) and HR factor (0.772). Weather and conditions are expected to be neutral.
