The Boston Red Sox and Toronto Blue Jays face off on Wednesday in an MLB showdown at the Rogers Centre. The Blue Jays have won the first two games this series. On Tuesday, the Blue Jays were down by a run heading into the 9th inning but were able to win 6-5. 

The Red Sox come into this game with a 42-33 record overall and they were hot heading into this series against the Toronto Blue Jays. Just looking at the stats, this is one of the best teams in baseball. The offense has been the strength all season averaging 4.77 runs per game which is the 6th best in the league. Trevor Story has been the top offensive player hitting 12 home runs and driving in 52 RBIs. 

On the other side of this matchup is the Blue Jays who sit with a 42-32 record overall and so far in this series they are averaging 6.5 runs per game. The pitching at times has been an issue for Toronto, but the offense has been impressive. The Blue Jays are averaging 4.74 runs per game which is 6th best in the league. Vladimir Guerrero has hit 18 home runs and driven in 46 RBIs. 

On the mound for the Red Sox is Nick Pivetta who sits with a 8-5 record and an ERA of 3.25. In his last start against the Cleveland Guardians, he went seven innings giving up nine hits and two runs. 

On the mound for the Blue Jays is Alek Manoah who sits with a 9-2 record and an ERA of 2.05. In his last start against the Milwaukee Brewers, he went 6.2 innings giving up five hits and two runs. 

The Red Sox are 4-0 in their last four games played on Wednesday. The Red Sox are 1-6 in their last seven games on Astroturf. The over is 4-0 in the Blue Jays last four games played on Wednesday. 

These are two strong offenses, but this game is all going to be about the pitching. Manoah sits with an ERA of 2.05 while Pivetta sits with an ERA of 3.25. Both of these pitchers are elite, and runs are going to be very hard to come by for both teams. Back the under to cash.

The pick in this article is the opinion of the writer, not a PickDawgz site consensus.
