Blue Jays at Red Sox picks and predictions

Prediction

Blue Jays 5, Red Sox 2

Moneyline

Boston has scored often in Houck’s starts. Before a 6-2 loss in his last outing, they won the previous 4 outings, averaging 9.75 runs per game. However, in 4 of Kikuchi’s starts this season, Toronto’s opponents have not scored more than 2 runs. And the Blue Jays are 5-0 in his starts.

After losing the opener, Toronto should bounce back for a W on Tuesday, but I like the odds on the run line more than the moneyline.

PASS.

Run line/Against the spread

Twelve of the Blue Jays’ 18 wins this season have been by 2 or more runs. Four of Kikuchi’s 5 starts have been wins by at least 2 runs. Eight of the Red Sox’ 14 losses have been by 2 or more runs.

BET BLUE JAYS -1.5 (+110).

Over/Under

Each of Boston’s last 4 losses has had  9 or fewer total runs while 4 of Kikuchi’s starts have had 8 or fewer runs. Also, the last 11 wins for Toronto have had 9 or fewer runs.

BET UNDER 9.5 (+100).

Blue Jays at Red Sox picks and predictions

Prediction

Blue Jays 6, Red Sox 2

Moneyline

The Blue Jays are 6-1 in their last 7 games. Toronto has only had multi-game losing skids twice this season.

The Red Sox have allowed 5 or more runs in 7 of their last 8 games, while Toronto had only allowed 5 total runs over a 6-game span prior to Sunday’s loss.

I like Toronto for the win but you get better odds on the run line.
