Red Sox vs Blue Jays Prediction
Both teams are tied 4-4 in their last 8 meetings and are 3-3 in their last 6 meetings in Toronto.
In this Red Sox vs Blue Jays Prediction, the Blue Jays are coming as -135 home favorites. Toronto won yesterday by 3-0, bouncing back from Monday’s 5-0 shutout but I don’t trust either pitcher in this matchup. They both have a combined 15.75 ERA and Bello cannot catch a break this season, coming off his worst start of the season. Lauer has also given up 10 runs in his last two starts and Toronto’s bullpen has been shaky, so I expect some runs in this one. Take the over 8.
