Blue Jays at Red Sox picks and predictions
Prediction
Blue Jays 9, Red Sox 4
Moneyline
The Red Sox are struggling to get the home field-advantage you would expect with a team with a winning record. They are just 30-37 (44.8%) in Fenway Park. And as a home favorite, the Red Sox post an even worse 20-29 record (40.8%).
Coming off a loss, Toronto usually bounces back with a record of 37-31 (54.4%). You can get them at plus money, which is a great value.
BET BLUE JAYS (+120).
Run line/Against the spread
While I like Toronto straight up and to cover this, I don’t like them at a -175 run line. PASS and stick with the moneyline.

Over/Under
In division games the Red Sox go Over 60% of the time (18-12-4), while the Blue Jays post the 2nd-highest Over rate at 65.9% (29-15). After going Under on Tuesday, the Over is the smart pick on Wednesday.
LEAN OVER 9.5 (-105).
