This game is the rubber game in this 3 game series with Toronto winning the first game and the Red Sox winning the 2nd one.
On the season the Red Sox have an Over/Under record of 16-10 with a run-line W/L record of 15-12 and the Blue Jays have an Over/Under record of 14-13 with a run-line W/l record of 11-17.
This season the Blue Jays are 6-9 at home and the Red Sox are 8-3 on the road.
The Blue Jays had a solid offense last season and they made some big additions in the off-season, but this season they only rank 21st in the Majors in runs scored and a dismal 30th in team batting average. The leading hitter for Toronto, who qualifies with enough at bats, is J.P. Arenciba and he is only batting .245.
Ryan Dempster (1-2 3.30 ERA) gets the nod for the Red Sox tonight and in his last start he gave up 2 earned runs in 6 innings in a win over the Houston Astros.
J.A. Happ (2-1, 3.86), goes for the Blue Jays and in his last outing he gave up 3 earned runs in 6 innings in a loss to the New York Yankees. He and 2 relievers piched a 2-hitter in a 5-0 win over Boston in the beginning of April. [dfads params=’groups=10&limit=1&return_javascript=0′]
In his last win Dempster struck out 10 batters for the 2nd game in a row. He has not faced the Blue Jays since the 2005 season.
Boston’s offense has been solid all season ranking 3rd in both runs and team batting average and 1st in on base percentage.
Since coming off the DL Boston slugger David Ortiz has hit safely in every game batting .487, has 3 HR, and 15 RBI.
In some betting trends for this AL East match up the Red Sox are 6-1 in their last 7 overall, 5-1 in their last 6 road games, and they have an Over record of 8-1-1 in their last 10 games.
The Blue Jays are 1-5 in their last 6 overall, 7-19 in their last 26 games as an underdog, and they have an Over record of 5-1-1 in their last 7 games.
Jason’s Pick: I think Happ will have another strong outing against the Red Sox and the Blue Jays will win this game.
