Boston Red Sox vs San Francisco Giants Predictions 7/29/2023
The Giants were on a roll in the second half, winning their first five games, then dropping six straight until taking two from Oakland on Friday night, just before this series started.

Boston Red Sox vs San Francisco Giants. The MLB pick for this game is the Boston Red Sox. The Red Sox arrive in San Francisco with a bang and appear to grow better daily.
With a 4.7 average margin of victory in seven victories in the second half, they were utterly dominant when they won.
After losing two to Oakland, things appeared to go the other way, but they played really well against the Braves, who are likely the greatest club in the league right now.
The two victories San Francisco had before this series were against Oakland. Therefore, those results can be discounted.
Washington swept them during their losing streak, and they even dropped a make-up game against Detroit. Compared to any of those clubs, Boston is performing significantly better.
With his consistent starts every time he takes the field, Paxton was a great addition to the Sox pitching rotation.
Righties are only batting .171 against Paxton this season, and the Giants’ offense was ineffective. The Boston Red Sox will win to a predicted score of 5-4.
