In this Blue Jays vs Red Sox Prediction, the Blue Jays are coming as -125 road favorites. I like the Red Sox in this matchup, especially as underdogs, as they have the pitching edge with Tolle on the mound, who sits on a 2.28 home ERA, while Dylan Cease has been weaker on the road with a 3.95 road ERA. On top of that, the Red Sox have the third-best bullpen in baseball and the Jays have been weaker against left-handed pitching. Take the Red Sox to win this one at home.
