Blue Jays at Red Sox picks and predictions
Prediction
Red Sox 4, Blue Jays 3
Moneyline
Even with their recent play, the RED SOX (-116) still look to be undervalued in the standings and in betting markets. They are a plus-25 in run differential this month.
Gausman and Bello tussled last week, and Gausman was roughed up. Per ESPN, current Boston batters own an .864 OPS against the Toronto right-hander. And the Red Sox have the better bullpen.
BET BOSTON (-116) in Tuesday's game.
Run line/Against the spread
PASS: Better value is available on the Red Sox outright play.
Over/Under
The Over is 4-1 in this year's season series, but look for a decent chance of pushback Tuesday.
Both starting pitchers have better expected-ERA figures than surface numbers. Being seen by the same club in back-to-back turns is not ideal, but the number here can be leveraged.
BACK THE UNDER 9 (-105).
