Toronto Blue Jays vs Boston Red Sox Prediction
The Red Sox are due for a bounce-back performance, and Houck is a better pitcher than what he’s shown so far, as he was an all-star last year. However, the value is with the Blue Jays and the plus money, as they look comfortable in Fenway, and the offense has picked up. Gausman has also had success against the Red Sox, which includes holding current hitters to a .230 batting average and 45 strikeouts in 135 at-bats against current hitters. I’ll take a shot with the Blue Jays in game 3 against the Red Sox.
