Toronto Blue Jays vs Boston Red Sox Prediction
Bowden Francis has been solid in his last few games, but it hasn’t resulted in wins. Brayan Bello has been hit or miss, so I’m not running to the window to back him. With all that said, the Red Sox have put together a winning stretch and are still playing hard, keeping their slim wild-card hopes alive. The Blue Jays have checked out a month or two ago. The fact you can get the Red Sox and plus money makes this one of the bigger value bets on Tuesday’s MLB card. I’ll take it.
