Bet Today’s Blue Jays vs. Red Sox Game
Jose Bautista went 2-for-5 with a solo home run and a RBI double in Sunday’s 5-3 win over the Red Sox. It was his third home run of the season and Bautista is now hitting .310 while collecting four doubles, three dingers and a triple while driving in 10 runs over 42 at bats to start the season.

In the loss, Travis Shaw went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run off Roberto Osuna in the ninth inning. The 26-year-old is now hitting .324 with a home run and five RBI while hitting safely in nine of 10 games. Clearly Boston made the right choice to go with Shaw over Pablo Sandoval in spring training as Shaw continues to reward the team with his hot bat.
OUR PICK: The Red Sox are 1-8 in Buchholz’s last nine home starts against the Blue Jays and 6-16 in his last 22 home starts overall. They’ve also lost 10 of 13 of Buchholz’s starts against the AL East and are 1-8 in his last nine home outings versus a team with a losing record. The Blue Jays’ bats should come alive today against a pitcher whose ERA sits at 10.00 right now and who has a HR/9 of 3.00.
