The Boston Red Sox will head out to the Bay and begin an interleague series with the San Francisco Giants this Friday from Oracle Park.

Red Sox Betting Preview

Boston moved to 55-47 after taking two from Atlanta. The Red Sox held their own in the potential World Series preview with the Braves, and they’ll look to win their fifth straight Game here. The Boston offense is 4.18 scoring runs per Game, while batting .258, with a .340 on-base percentage. The pitching staff carries a 4.89 ERA, with a 1.34 WHIP. Masataka Yoshida homered in the Game one win over ATL, and he leads Boston in batting (.316), with 53 RBI. Rafael Devers has recorded a hit in nine of the last ten Games, and he’s first on the team in HR (25) and RBI (76). Justin Turner has produced a run in six of the previous nine Games, and he’s posting splits of .289/16/66, while leading the Sox in hits (108).

Kutter Crawford (4-5, 4.04 ERA, 69 Ks) will open the Game for Boston. The third-year pitcher failed to follow up his strong outing in Chicago, as he allowed four runs in four innings to New York, and took his fifth loss of the season. Crawford reverted back to his usual ways after falling apart against the Mets, and it’s unclear how he’ll come out in the Bay here. Oracle is much more of a pitcher-friendly park than Fenway, so he will have that factor in his favor.

Giants Betting Preview

San Francisco comes in at 56-47 after taking two from Oakland. The Giants got back on track with a pair of wins over their crosstown foes, and they’ll look to carry that momentum into the weekend. The San Francisco offense is scoring 4.81 runs per Game, while batting .250, with a .326 on-base percentage. The pitching staff carries a 3.89 ERA, with a 1.29 WHIP. Mike Conforto is hitless in his last three, and he leads the Giants in home runs (13) and RBI (51). J.D Davis homered in the second leg win over Oakland, and he leads SFG in hits (81), with an identical thirteen homers and 51 RBI. Wilmer Flores has recorded a hit in eight of the previous ten Games, and he’s posting splits of .291/13/32.

Logan Webb (8-8, 3.48 ERA, 136 Ks) will get the call for San Francisco. The fifth-year pitcher had the worst start of the season last week in DC, uncharacteristically allowed six runs in just one lone inning pitched.  Webb has been much better than that this season, and he will need to channel that energy against a talented Boston lineup. All nine of Webb’s home starts have resulted in quality starts, and he’ll look to put his previous contest behind him. 

Boston vs San Francisco Trends

Boston is 51-48 against the spread this season, with a 51-44-7 O/U record. San Francisco is 48-53 ATS this year, with a 44-54-3 over/under record.

Corey’s Free Pick

Boston comes into the Bay with some momentum, and they’re in a profitable spot here in Game one. San Francisco holds alleged advantages of home field and pitching here, but the Sox have been very effective at the plate this season, and bottling Logan Webb up here isn’t out of the question. Whether Kutter Crawford holds up is the bigger debate, and targeting the manageable total here makes sense. Boston deserves a look on the ML, but I like the over more here, as it brings more security.

Researchers find potentially dangerous bacteria on smartwatch wristbands

Researchers have found cloth, plastic and rubber smart watch wristbands can create ideal environments for bacteria linked to staph infections and E.coli. The study from Florida Atlantic University analysed 20 smartwatch wristbands worn by a mix of men and women made of materials like metal, leather, plastic, cloth and rubber. They found near all the bands were contaminated, but those made of metals such as gold or silver harboured little to no bacteria. Watch the latest News on Channel 7 or stream for free on 7plus >> Meanwhile, wristbands made of cloth had the most bacteria, followed by those made of plastic and rubber. In the study, published in the journal of Advances in Infectious Diseases, researchers said it was because “porous and static surfaces tend to attract and be colonised by bacteria”. The researchers found common bacteria on the bands was linked to very contagious staph infections, E.coli, which can cause food poisoning or pneumonia, as well as pseudomonas aeru

Putin asserts Ukrainian counteroffensive has begun, while drones strike within Russia

Russian President Vladimir Putin says Ukrainian troops have started their long-expected counteroffensive KYIV, Ukraine -- Russian President Vladimir Putin asserted Friday that Ukrainian troops have started a long-expected counteroffensive and were suffering “significant” losses. His comments came just hours after a string of drone strikes inside Russian territory. It was Putin's latest effort to shape the gut-wrenching narrative of the invasion he ordered more than 15 months ago, sparking widespread international condemnation and reviving Cold War-style tensions. The conflict entered a complex new phase this week with the rupture of a Dnieper River dam that sent floodwaters gushing through a large swath of the front in southern Ukraine. Tens of thousands of civilians already facing the misery of regular shelling fled for higher ground on both sides of the swollen and sprawling waterway. Kyiv has played down talk of a counteroffensive, reasoning that the less said about its military

Chelsea make the most expensive substitution in football history against Brighton

The sheer quantity of multi-million-pound flesh at Chelsea is mind-boggling - and a logistical nightmare. After an absurdly extravagant January transfer window, Graham Potter was forced to field a 9v9 training match running concurrently with the standard 11v11 session just to ensure everyone had something to do. Supposedly, some of the club's cherished assets were also forced to squat on the floor at team meetings due to the lack of chairs for the bloated squad. Four seats opened up on the Chelsea bench shortly before the hour mark when Frank Lampard made the call to draw upon his intimidating squad depth as the Blues went in search of a winner against Brighton on Saturday afternoon. How the Blues were even level by the time the fourth official's board lit up was a mystery given Brighton's dominance on the ball and in both boxes. Roberto De Zerbi's side continued to play the intoxicating fluid football which has steered the Seagulls to seventh place, rattling off 20 sho
