Latest from Rotoworld: Fister scattered seven hits and three runs over six-plus innings Sunday in the Red Sox’s loss to the Angels. He recorded six strikeouts and three walks. Making his Boston debut against the team that just released him, Fister was shaky at times but still logged a quality start. All three runs he allowed came in the second inning. Fister may make one more start for the Red Sox, but he’ll probably be a goner when Eduardo Rodriguez returns from the disabled list.
Estrada allowed three runs in seven innings and was charged with a loss to the Royals on Saturday. He kept his team in the game with a quality start but it wasn’t quite enough. He issued four walks (although none of those came back to haunt him) and struck out six batters. It was the extra-base hits that did him in. Alcides Escobar tripled and scored in the third inning, Eric Hosmer lifted a solo homer in the fourth, and Alex Gordon drove in the winning run with a triple in the seventh. Estrada falls to 4-6 with a 4.89 ERA and 1.38 WHIP on the season.

The under is also 5-1 in the Red Sox’ last six games overall and is 4-0 in their last four games versus a right-handed starter. On the other side, the under is 5-1 in the Blue Jays’ last six games and has cashed in five of their last seven divisional matchups as well.
