The Red Sox Can Win If…
The Boston Red Sox head into this divisional matchup looking to rebound after a 7-3 loss to Tampa Bay. Despite the setback, they managed 10 hits, with Romy Gonzalez and Alex Bregman driving in runs. Connelly Early pitched four innings and kept the game close early, but the bullpen faltered in the later frames.
Boston’s offense has been one of the most consistent in the majors. The Red Sox rank 4th in batting average at .255 and lead the league with 309 doubles. Trevor Story has been central to that production, with 25 home runs and 95 RBIs. His mix of power and timely hitting makes him one of the key threats in the lineup.
Lucas Giolito is expected to start, bringing a 3.46 ERA and strong command on the mound. The Red Sox pitching staff has been reliable overall, ranking 5th in ERA at 3.76. With Giolito’s ability to neutralize opposing hitters and Boston’s offensive depth, they have the tools to pull off a much-needed victory.
Team Snapshot
| Team | Record | Batting Avg | Doubles | ERA |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Red Sox | 85-71 | .255 (4th) | 309 (1st) | 3.76 (5th) |

The Blue Jays Can Win If…
The Toronto Blue Jays secured an 8-5 victory against Kansas City in their last game, snapping a four-game losing streak. Their offense woke up in that matchup, with Andrés Giménez, George Springer, and Vladimir Guerrero Jr. leading the way with multiple hits each.
Toronto boasts the top batting average in MLB at .267 and leads the league in on-base percentage (.332). Guerrero Jr. and Bo Bichette remain cornerstones of the lineup. Guerrero Jr. is hitting .299 with 32 doubles, while Bichette continues to hit above .300 despite battling injuries late in the season.
Kevin Gausman will take the ball with a 3.38 ERA and one of the best WHIPs in the league at 1.01. His ability to avoid walks and generate strikeouts has been key to Toronto’s success. With the postseason already clinched, the Blue Jays are focused on securing the AL East crown, and a dominant outing from Gausman could put them one step closer.
The Lean
The Blue Jays enter as -165 favorites, with the Red Sox priced at +140. Toronto holds the edge offensively, leading the league in batting average and on-base percentage. My model projects a 5-3 Blue Jays win, making Toronto the moneyline pick in this matchup.
The total is set at 8.0 runs, priced at -106 to the over. Both teams bring strong offensive profiles, and with Boston’s league-leading doubles and Toronto’s consistent contact hitting, runs should come. My projection calls for exactly 8, but the lean goes slightly toward the over at 8.0.
Betting Trends
- Red Sox are 6-3 in their last 9 road games.
- Blue Jays are 7-3 in their last 10 against Boston.
- Over has hit in 4 of the last 6 games between these two teams.
