Bet Today’s Blue Jays vs. Red Sox Game
TORONTO: The Blue Jays have won four in a row and four of their last five road games. They’re also 7-1 in Stroman’s last eight road starts, 10-2 in his last 12 starts versus an American League East rival, and are 13-3 in his last 16 starts when their opponent allows five runs or more in its previous game, as the Red Sox did last night.

BOSTON: The Red Sox are 13-4 in their last 17 home games and 6-2 in their last eight games after scoring two runs or less in their previous game. They’re also 9-4 in their last 13 home games versus a right-handed starter and have won six of eight at home versus an opponent with a winning road record.
OUR PREDICTION: Even though the Blue Jays are hot, the Red Sox’ bats are too good to cool for multiple nights. Plus, the Red Sox are 5-2 in Wright’s last seven starts coming off four days of rest and are 5-2 in his last seven outings following a quality start in his last appearance. Wright has been one of the more underrated pitchers in the first two months of the season and he should pitch well again today.
