Toronto Blue Jays vs Boston Red Sox. The MLB pick for this game is the Boston Red Sox. Four of the Red Sox’s last five home matches ended in victories.

They scored 18 runs in their last three home games and are offensively strong.

Because they are hitting the ball effectively against right-handers and Manoah was not able to get it going on the pitch this year, especially on the road where he surrendered nine runs in his last three outings, expect them to perform well offensively in this game.

He met the Red Sox at Fenway Park in May and gave up five runs; he will struggle to contain them in this contest. Three of the Blue Jays’ last four games ended in losses.

They aren’t currently performing well offensively, scoring just nine runs in their last three matches.

Since Paxton was excellent for the Red Sox on the mound, especially at home where he gave up seven runs in his last four starts, their offensive troubles will likely persist in this game.

Given that Boston has the eighth-best bullpen in the league, they will contain Toronto’s offense after he allowed two runs in each of his last three outings against the Blue Jays.

To cover the money line, choose Boston. The Boston Red Sox will win predicted at 6-3.
