The Boston Red Sox close out their homestand with a three-game set against the San Francisco Giants starting on Friday night.

The Red Sox took their first two games against Arizona before a 7-6 loss on Wednesday and an off day on Thursday. Meanwhile, the Giants lost two of three in Cleveland and are now 2-5 in their last seven games.

Here are the odds, probable pitchers, and predictions for Giants vs. Red Sox on Friday, Aug. 21.

Logan Webb has been stellar as of late, allowing a total of four runs on 18 hits in 26 innings over his last four starts.

Sonny Gray has allowed just two runs on 15 hits in 19 innings across his last three starts after a few poor outings to end July.

Giants vs. Red Sox Best MLB Prop Bets

Giants Best MLB Prop Bet

  • Logan Webb UNDER 6.5 Hits Allowed (-143)

Logan Webb struggled at times earlier in the season, but he’s gotten into a groove as of late. The Giants ace has allowed six hits or fewer in seven straight starts and nine of his last 10, with the lone outlier coming at Coors Field. That includes just four hits in each of his last two outings.

The Red Sox aren’t as hot as they once were, so I think Webb can limit their offense tonight at Fenway Park.

Giants vs. Red Sox Prediction and Pick

This should be a pitcher’s duel at Fenway Park tonight.

Webb and Gray have both been fantastic as of late, and while Boston had a few offensive outbursts against the Diamondbacks, I don’t see that happening tonight against an ace.

And the Giants have rarely scored more than two runs in a game as of late, scoring just four runs in their three-game set in Cleveland.

Pick: UNDER 7.5 (-119)
