Best bets today: Red Sox vs. Giants among top SportsLine's top MLB plays for June 20
Giants slugger Rafael Devers' first game against his former team, the Red Sox, headlines Friday's 15-game MLB schedule
Friday's top sports action comes on the diamond with all 30 MLB teams taking the field today, as the NHL season concluded on Tuesday and the NBA season wraps up on Sunday with Game 7 between the Indiana Pacers and Oklahoma City Thunder. Baseball's action is headlined by an intriguing night game as the San Francisco Giants host the Boston Red Sox. Boston just traded star infielder Rafael Devers to San Francisco after the relationship between the front office and slugging third baseman soured over the last few months. And there is still some action on the hardwood Friday, with three WNBA games on the docket.Â

Best MLB bet today
Boston Red Sox at San Francisco Giants (-131, 7.5): 10:15 p.m. ET
The Red Sox and Giants start a three-game series Friday night less than a week after the two franchises made series waves in the trade market. Boston shipped All-Star slugger Rafael Devers to San Francisco for two pitchers and two prospects after months of turmoil after the Sox signed Alex Bregman and moved Devers off third base to DH duties. Now, Devers anchors a Giants lineup that has been relatively average this year and needs more run production to complement its stellar pitching staff. Devers gets his first chance at revenge Friday night in the Bay Area when the Red Sox come to town, and he has three hits across three games with his new team thus far. The Giants are 42-33, second place in the NL West and good enough for a Wild Card spot. The Red Sox are 39-37, fourth place in the AL East.Â
Best WNBA bet today
Seattle Storm (-2, 160.5) at Las Vegas Aces: 7:30 p.m. ET
The Storm and Aces do battle for the third time this season when they face off Friday night. Each team has won at home in this matchup, and Seattle enters the day 7-5 while Vegas is 5-6. Aces star A'Ja Wilson has missed the last three games with a concussion, but she was upgraded to questionable for Friday's game against the visiting Storm. That would be a big boost to a Vegas squad that has dropped consecutive games entering Friday, as she is tied for third in the WNBA in scoring.Â
