Toronto Blue Jays vs Boston Red Sox Prediction
The Blue Jays have put together a combined three runs in their last three games, and they’re going to need to find offense to compete in Boston. Lucas is also a pitcher with just one big league start under his belt, so he’s not somebody I’m running to the window to back. The Red Sox have found their groove with five straight wins and the offense has caught fire during this stretch. Fitts has just five career MLB starts, but he’s been sharp with a 2.36 ERA and 1.20 WHIP in 26.2 innings. The price is more than fair. I’m going to ride the hot hand and side with the Red Sox.
