  • The Blue Jays have failed to cover the run line in eight of their last 10 games against AL East opponents following a win.

Toronto Blue Jays vs Boston Red Sox Prediction

The Red Sox are going to have no issue here. Rodriguez is on the mound for the Blue Jays and he gave up five runs in his last start. The Red Sox are going to tee off on him here. Criswell is coming off a strong start, and he’s going to dominate the Blue Jays bats. Toronto is going to really struggle to get the offense going and Boston is going to get the job done. Back the Red Sox on the money line.
