The Red Sox are closing in on a playoff spot while the Giants look like a team that’s ready for the season to end. Wilkinson has just 2 MLB innings under his belt, and it’s enough of a sample size for my liking. Bennett is having a rough August, but he’s been solid overall with a 3.46 ERA and 1.07 WHIP. This is a spot where you don’t overthink things and just side with the better team. Give me the Red Sox and the RL for max betting value.
