RED SOX KEY TRENDS: The Red Sox have won four of their last five games overall but are just 1-8 in their last nine road games. They’re also winless at 0-7 in their last seven road games versus a right-handed starter but have won four of their last five games when their opponent allows five runs or more in its previous game.
BLUE JAYS KEY TRENDS: The Blue Jays are a mess, dropping 14 of their last 17 games overall and going just 1-6 in their last seven home games. They’re also just 1-6 in their last seven divisional matchups, are 1-6 in their last seven games coming off a loss, and are 0-5 in their last five games following an off day.
Bet Tonight’s Red Sox vs. Blue Jays Game
OUR PICK: Even with Stroman on the hill, the Blue Jays just aren’t worth paying for right now. Besides, they’re just 3-7 in Stroman’s last 10 starts anyway, plus are 3-7 in his last 10 outings against the division. They’re also 1-9 in Stroman’s last 10 starts following a team loss in their previous game. Until the Blue Jays prove that this slow start is an aberration, continue to fade them, especially when you’re getting plus odds with a Boston team that has won three in a row.
