This will already be the second series we are seeing between these two AL East rivals. The Blue Jays took the first series 2-1 and were the first MLB team to make it to 10 wins this season.
Over their last 5 games, the Blue Jays have conceded 83% less runs and the Red Sox have scored 70% less runs over their last 5 games.
Tonight both teams will be sending their ace's to the mound. The Toronto Blue Jays will be starting Jose Berrios. Berrios has made 3 starts this season, and one of those starts was against Boston. Berrios went 6.0 IP allowing 8 Hits and only 1 Run in that outing vs the Red Sox, it was his most recent start, and his best start of the season. He looked more comfortable after struggling in his first two appearances this season.
Berrios has only given up 2 runs in his last 2 starts against the Red Sox, and the only guy in the Red Sox line up that has done damage against Berrios is Alex Verdugo. Boston has really struggled to score runs this year.. They rank
- 15th in BA vs RHP / 17th in ISO vs RHP / 26th in wRC+ vs RHP and 20th in Hard Hit% vs RHP.
Luckily for the Red Sox, they are sending Nathan Eovaldi to the mound. Eovaldi is off to another good start to this season boasting a 3.68 ERA through 3 starts. He is striking out 1.33 batters per inning which is a key factor into limiting runs against an offence like the Blue Jays.
There are a handful of Blue Jays hitters who have had success off of Eovaldi in the past, but most of that damage was done in one start where Eovaldi blew up and gave up 7 runs to the Blue Jays. In his other 2 most recent starts against the Blue Jays he allowed 1 Run and 0 Runs in the other start.
The Blue Jays are coming off of an extra-innings loss in Houston where they scored 7 runs. The Blue Jays had to travel back home from Houston last night for tonight's game, and the Red Sox had to make the trip all the way from Tampa Bay.
This will be the first time the Red Sox have had to come to Toronto, and it will be interesting to see if any of their key pieces had to be left behind in the USA, due to Canada's COVID Vaccination travel restrictions.
Tonight, I think we are going to see two sluggish offences against to great pitchers that are starting to settle into this 2022 season. The total in this games is set at 8.5. With this total, the Under has his in 73.3% of Blue Jay games, and 66.7% of the Red Sox's games.
Official Pick: Boston Red Sox @ Toronto Blue Jays - Under 8.5 (-115)
