The Toronto Blue Jays and Boston Red Sox meet Tuesday in MLB action at Fenway Park. Let’s preview this game and give out a pick and prediction.

The Toronto Blue Jays have scored 14 runs in their last 3 games and 4 or more runs in 6 of their last 8 games. The Blue Jays have won 11 of their last 13 games when scoring 4 or more runs. Bo Bichette leads the Blue Jays with 43 hits and 21 RBI, while Matt Chapman and Vladimir Guerrero Jr. have combined for 74 hits and 36 RBI. Yusei Kikuchi gets the ball, and he is 4-0 with a 3.00 ERA and 28 strikeouts this season. Kikuchi is 0-1 with a 4.19 ERA and 15 strikeouts in his career against the Red Sox.

The Boston Red Sox have scored 21 runs in their last 3 games and 4 or more runs in 7 of their last 9 games. The Red Sox have won 10 of their last 14 games when scoring 4 or more runs. Alex Verdugo leads the Red Sox with 38 hits and 18 RBI, while Justin Turner and Rafael Devers have combined for 56 hits and 37 RBI. Tanner Houck gets the ball, and he is 3-1 with a 4.50 ERA and 24 strikeouts this season. Houck is 0-1 with a 2.63 ERA and 18 strikeouts in his career against the Blue Jays.

The Blue Jays are 4-0 in their last 4 Tuesday games and 6-1 in their last 7 overall. The Red Sox are 5-2 in their last 7 Tuesday games and 7-3 in their last 10 home games. The under is 12-3-2 in Blue Jays last 17 overall. The over is 9-4 in Red Sox last 13 overall. The Blue Jays are 21-5 in the last 26 meetings.

The Toronto Blue Jays have absolutely owned the Red Sox over the years, and it’s going to take more than one win last night to change that. Yusei Kikuchi is off to arguably his best start of a season, and we know what he’s capable of when he’s on. Tanner Houck has been hit or miss up to this point. Give me the Blue Jays and the cheap price.
