Red Sox vs Blue Jays Prediction
I’m on the Blue Jays here. This is just a really solid price for a Blue Jays team that’s still one of the better teams in baseball against left-handed pitching so far this season. I think the Red Sox are getting this kind of price because of the name brand with Garrett Crochet. I think these two teams are level early on this season, so to get the Jays at this kind of price sounds good to me. Give me Toronto in this one.
