Toronto Blue Jays DFS SPIN
George Springer went 4-for-4 and scored twice Saturday in the Blue Jays’ 5-4 win over the Red Sox. Springer had more hits today than in his previous 14 games (3-for-52). He’s been especially futile for fantasy purposes lately; Springer had 13 homers and 13 steals during the first half, but he’s put up zeroes in both categories since.
Boston Red Sox DFS SPIN
Alex Verdugo is batting sixth and playing right field in Sunday’s finale against the Blue Jays. Verdugo was scratched from Saturday’s game for disciplinary reasons but is back in the lineup on Sunday. The 27-year-old started the season off with a bang but boarded the struggle bus in July, hitting just .157/.245/.277 with three homers since the calendar flipped to July.

Blue Jays vs. Red Sox MLB BETTING PREDICTION
Bassitt is 10-6 with a 4.00 ERA on the season and has faced the Red Sox only once in his career, allowing two runs and three hits with 10 strikeouts over seven innings back in 2021. Bernardino, meanwhile, is 1-1 on the year with a 2.72 ERA and will be making his sixth start of the season. He’s 0-1 with a 4.41 ERA in four relief appearances against Toronto in his career, but there’s not much to go off of when it comes to head-to-head matchups. In fact, there’s not much to go off period when it comes to this pitching matchup. With the total sitting at a whopping 10 runs, I’m going to bet the number over anything else and bank on both pitchers having decent days. Give me the under.
MLB BETTING PREDICTION: BLUE JAYS/RED SOX UNDER 10
