San Francisco Giants vs Boston Red Sox

Boston has been an offensive juggernaut in L5 (5.7 R/G, .284/.840) with Abreu hot (🔥), Contreras OPS .937, and Rafaela consistent. While Sandoval has a troubling 4.76 ERA and 1.85 WHIP in limited action (34 IP), the Red Sox offense should be able to overcome that. Tidwell is making a spot start with very limited data (27 IP). San Francisco is one of the weakest teams on the slate (52-76, 3.2 R/G in L5) with a cold lineup and a poor offensive split vs LHP (.657 OPS vs LHP). Boston's team ERA of 3.38 and bullpen depth give them a meaningful advantage overall. At -204, there is significant negative value, but the edge is real enough to note as a lean.
