The Toronto Blue Jays play host to the Boston Red Sox on Monday night from the Rogers Centre in the series opener. These two met just last week in Boston, with the Blue Jays taking two of three games and the series win.
Bo Bichette broke an eighth-inning tie with his first career grand slam and the Toronto Blue Jays beat the slumping Boston Red Sox 6-2 on Monday night.
Boston Red Sox
Boston has high hopes for the season after making it to last year’s ALCS but the last week has put things into perspective as to how difficult things could be.
The Red Sox are one of the most balanced teams in the league on both sides of the ball and while there is certainly room for improvement, neither the lineup nor the pitching and defense is expected to be the reason they struggle this season.
Boston had one of baseball’s best offenses in 2022 but so far, they’ve struggled to match that level of production. They rank 15th in the league in scoring but are struggling to find much power in the lineup.
Xander Bogaerts (.357 average, .379 OBP) leads the way, while Verdugo has provided the limited power in the lineup behind a team-high three home runs.
Toronto Blue Jays
The Blue Jays come in looking like the top team in the AL East this season and after taking two of three against Boston last week, are riding some of that momentum forward. Adding in a strong weekend on the road against Houston, it’s clear that Toronto is a legit contender in not only the AL East but in baseball as a whole.
The Blue Jays are 4-2 this season at home, after going 47-34 at home last season. With their eyes set on being the best team in baseball, Toronto knows that continuing to dominate at home, especially against divisional rivals, is going to be key to their continued success.
Toronto’s offense was expected to lead the way this season and while they have, there’s certainly room for improvement. They rank sixth in batting average and ninth in OPS while sitting first in home runs. Despite that, they rank only 16th in runs per game and need to do a better job making the most of their opportunities.
Vlad Guerrero Jr. Hasn’t wasted any time emerging as the lead star in the AL East, leading the Blue Jays in nearly every offensive statistic. Leading the team in batting average (.333), home runs (5), RBI (11), OBP (.393), and hits (18), this offense will go where his big bat takes them.
MLB Baseball Betting Trends:
- Red Sox are 6-4 ATS on the road
- Rd Sox O/U are 2-8 on the road
- Blue Jays are 3-4 ATS at home
- Blue Jays O/U are 3-4 at home
Boston Red Sox vs. Toronto Blue Jays MLB Prediction:
Toronto showed during last week’s series in Boston that they are the team to beat in the AL East and that’ll continue into this week starting on Monday night.
The Red Sox are expecting to be without a few keys bats due to injury but also will be without some key arms due to COVID strict restrictions surrounding Canada.
The lack of depth could certainly hurt Boston on Monday night but Toronto’s offense will be the difference. Between a handful of power hitters and the arm of Gausman, Toronto should handle business once again.
Take the Blue Jays to to cover the run line on Tuesday.
