Blue Jays vs Red Sox Prediction 
Boston comes into this matchup trying to snap a six game losing streak, but they have scored two runs or fewer in three straight games. The Red Sox are 22-18 at home this year, while the Blue Jays are 19-21 on the road. Toronto has scored at least six runs in three of their last four games, but they will face Giolito, who has allowed a total of two earned runs in his last three starts. The Blue Jays will start Bassitt, who has allowed three earned runs or more in three of his last five outings. This Boston team is not playing very well right now, but I do think they have the hotter starting pitcher coming into this game. Take the Red Sox here.
