Money Line: -156.00 Boston (Home)
Result: Win
Money Line: -156.00 Boston (Home)
Result: Win
I don't see the Giants getting it done with Jake Peavy pitching in band box Fenway Park. San Francisco hasn't played at Fenway since 2007. Peavy knows Fenway, though, from his days in the American League. He has a 4.47 ERA in 14 starts at Fenway.
Peavy needs a spacious park to pitch well in. He's been fortunate to have played for the Padres and now the Giants. He's not the same pitcher, though, on the road particularly at hitter's parks such as Fenway. Peavy is 1-5 with a 6.64 ERA in eight road starts this season. The Giants have lost 14 of Peavy's past 20 road outings.
San Francisco is 5-22 in its last 27 away contests versus a foe with a winning record.
Peavy has to face the major's top run producing team as Boston averages a league-best 5.5 runs per game.
The Giants' offense is going to have trouble matching that down three starters - Hunter Pence, Joe Panik and Matt Duffy.
Boston has won its last four home games and is 7-2 this month at Fenway. The Red Sox are 10-1 in Rick Porcello's last 11 starts. Porcello hasn't lost in more than two months. He is 8-0 this season when pitching at Fenway.
