Red Sox vs Blue Jays Prediction
The Red Sox are 3-1 in their last 4 meetings against the Blue Jays and both teams are tied 3-3 in their last 6 meetings in Toronto.
In this Red Sox vs Blue Jays Prediction, the Blue Jays are coming as -120 home favorites. Boston kept rolling and shut out the Jays yesterday by 5-0 and are putting Payton Tolle on the mound, whose first start of the season was a quality start against the Yankees. I don’t trust Yesavage in his first start of the season for the Jays and the Red Sox have a better bullpen and a better offense, with the Jays being weaker against left-handed pitching. Give me the Red Sox and the plus money in this one.
