Toronto Blue Jays vs Boston Red Sox Prediction 

Toronto was able to snap their three-game losing streak with a win on Monday night in game one of the series, but they are just 1-3 on the road this year. The Blue Jays have struggled offensively through 11 games, and they will go up against Crochet, who was dominant in his last start against Baltimore. The Red Sox had their winning streak snapped on Monday night, but they have scored at least five runs in four of their last five games. The Blue Jays will start Lucas, who pitched very well against Washington in his first outing, but I think he is in for a rough one here. Take the Red Sox to win.
