Boston Red Sox fans didn’t need to wait long to see Rafael Devers suited up for a different team.
The pregame narrative: Less than a week after the all-star slugger was traded to the San Francisco Giants, Devers will face Boston at Oracle Park. The June 15 trade was a stunner, especially considering Boston had signed Devers to a 10-year, $313.5 million deal in January 2023.
Check out these Rafael Devers props for the matchup against the Red Sox on Friday, June 20.

Best Devers prop bet
Best Bet: Over 1.5 total bases (+107)
Revenge narrative aside, backing Devers against an unproven right-hander is often a viable play.
- Devers has a .550 SLG in his career vs. RHPs. Tonight, he’ll face Boston rookie Hunter Dobbins, who has allowed a .457 SLG to lefty hitters this season.
- Dobbins also hasn’t put up great numbers on the road: four games, 4.74 ERA, .801 opponent OPS.
One risk to this prop bet is Devers’ tendency to walk. His 58 walks are the second-most in MLB this season.
Fortunately, Dobbins isn’t likely to issue a bunch of free passes. He has a 4.8% walk rate, which ranks in the 93rd percentile, per Baseball Savant.
As long as Dobbins is shooting strikes, Devers should find something to mash.
Devers is slugging .588 against four-seam fastballs, curveballs and sliders thrown by right-handed pitchers. That’s roughly 80% of Dobbins’ typical pitch mix vs. left-hitting players.
In terms of Dobbins’ pitch arsenal, this matchup is enticing. And Devers’ career-best 147 wRC+ this season shows he can be dangerous on any night.
Key stat: Devers is averaging 1.9 total bases per game.
