Red Sox at Blue Jays picks and predictions
Prediction
Blue Jays 4, Red Sox 2
Moneyline
PASS.
Blue Jays (-190) moneyline should hit, but there is better value on the run line.
Run line/Against the spread
BET BLUE JAYS -1.5 (+110).
Nine of the Blue Jays last 10 wins have been by multiple runs. When the Blue Jays win, the games aren’t close.
Toronto has also won 10 of its last 11 games vs. Boston.
Over/Under
BET UNDER 7.5 (-107).
Toronto’s offense has helped the Over hit in its last 3 games, but it should regress toward the mean Sunday. With Wacha and Gausman on the mound, there should be a lot less scoring than the last 2 head-to-head meetings.
