A full slate of MLB action on Wednesday is capped off with a phenomenal pitching matchup when the Boston Red Sox and San Francisco Giants close out a two-game set. Dominant left-handers David Price and Madison Bumgarner take to the mound in a game that could see very few runners cross the plate.
- The favorites are 9-2 in the past 11 meetings between the Red Sox and Giants.
- The Red Sox are 9-2 in their past 11 games against the NL.
- The Giants are 5-2 in their past seven games coming off a loss.
Price opened the season looking like he may not be worth the $217-million contract that the Red Sox inked him to, but he has been turning it around lately. Price has recorded five straight quality starts while allowing 10 earned runs in those outings.
Thanks to Bumgarner’s phenomenal play, the Giants have won the lefty’s past eight starts. MadBum has given up a combined seven earned runs through his last eight starts with three no-run outings in that span.
