In this Red Sox vs Blue Jays Prediction, the Red Sox are coming as -175 road favorites. I like the over in this one, as the Red Sox are too big favorites on the road for my liking and I also cannot back the Jays with Taillon on the mound, who has given up 14 runs across his last three starts. Both offenses have been red-hot, averaging 13.8 runs per game against right-handed pitching in their last 5 games and are 10-3 to the over in their last 13 games combined. Take the over 8 runs in this one.
