In this Blue Jays vs Red Sox Prediction, the Red Sox are coming as -140 home favorites. I don’t like the pitching in this matchup, as both pitchers have a combined 15.51 ERA, with Max Scherzer coming back from the IL and giving up 5 runs in 3.1 innings, while Bennett has given up 4 runs in each of his last two starts for the Red Sox. Both teams are 10-5 to the over in their last 15 games combined, so I will go over the 9.5 in this one.
