Red Sox vs. Blue Jays Pick
Two AL East rivals meet up tonight at 7:07PM ET as the Toronto Blue Jays host the Boston Red Sox.
The Red Sox have Joe Kelly taking the mound to face Marcus Stroman of the Blue Jays. According to oddsmakers at BetDSI, Toronto is the clear favorite at home, as the Jays are getting odds of -170 to win, while the Red Sox are getting a money line of +155 to win. The over/under total has yet to be set.
Toronto comes into this game 2-2 on the season and set to hold its home opener. The Red Sox are off to a 1-1 start with both games coming on the road. Boston has actually won seven of its last 10 meetings with Toronto, including its last two meetings in Toronto last September.

Stroman had a great first outing, going 8 innings as he led the Jays to a 5-3 road win over Tampa in their season opener. The Jays are now 8-1 in his last 9 starts overall and 6-0 in his last 6 starts against AL East opponents. Kelly has yet to take the mound this season, but the Red Sox are just 2-5 in his last 7 starts in division games. Toronto should have plenty of pop in their bat in the home opener and take advantage of Kelly.
