Bet Tonight’s Giants vs. Red Sox Game
SAN FRANCISCO: The Giants are 4-0 in Peavy’s last four starts when their opponent scores two runs or less in its previous game, as the Red Sox did on Sunday night when they lost 3-1 to the Yankees. But the Giants are also just 6-14 in Peavy’s last 20 road starts and are winless at 0-9 in his last nine road starts versus a team with a winning record.
BOSTON: The Red Sox are hot with Porcello on the mound. They’re 5-0 in his last five starts, 10-1 in his last 11 home starts, and 5-1 in his last six starts when he faces a team with a winning record. They’re also 4-1 in his last five interleague games and 7-3 in his last 10 outings when he starts Game 1 of a series.

OUR PICK: Take Boston on the runline. The Giants are 3-8 in their last 11 games versus the Red Sox and stink in interleague games. They’re 21-43 in interleague road games versus a right-handed starter and have dropped 13 of 19 interleague road games versus a team with a winning record. They also just got swept by the lowly Padres and are 1-4 in their last five road games overall. Until Hunter Pence, Matt Duffy and Joe Panik return, the Giants provide good fade material for bettors.
