This season, Toronto is 10-3 against Boston. Ross Stripling has pitched well in all his games against the Red Sox, with the Jays going 2-1 in his starts. Josh Winckowski has a 5.94 ERA and 1.68 WHIP at Fenway. As Bollman mentioned, the Jays also have a significant advantage in the bullpen. Toronto swept the Red Sox last time in Boston, and I'll bet on that win streak to continue tonight.
Toronto has won its last five games at Fenway Park and I like the Blue Jays to make it six behind Ross Stripling, who took a perfect game into the seventh inning last time out. He owns a 3.21 ERA in three starts versus the Red Sox this season. Boston starter Josh Winckowski would still be in Triple-A if not for an injury to Nathan Eovaldi. In his last start against the Pirates, Winckowski got lit up for six earned runs in five innings -- allowing two homers among the seven hits. Lay the price.
The Blue Jays are 10-3 against the Red Sox this season and they have won five of the six games at Fenway Park including that dominant 28-5 win. Ross Stripling came off the IL to pitch six scoreless innings against the Orioles last outing and he has pitched well against the Red Sox three times this season. Josh Winckowski is the Red Sox worst starter right now, he was optioned to Triple A after his last start but Nathan Eovaldi’s return to the IL prompted his return. He struggles with both walks and home runs and that is a terrible combination against the Blue Jays. The Blue Jays also have the second-best bullpen in the league since the All-Star break while the Red Sox are ranked dead last. It’s juicy but for good reason.
