Toronto Blue Jays (89-69) vs Boston Red Sox (75-83)

The Red Sox got crushed on Saturday in a game that I thought was the one they had the best chance in for this series. Now, with a mismatch on the mound and a bullpen that is really struggling, I think the Red Sox are in trouble yet again on Sunday afternoon. Kevin Gausman's numbers at home have not been great overall, yes, but he is coming off a great start at home in his last game, he has pitched well against the Red Sox this season, and I think the Jays' bats will back him up in a big way against Wacha and the Sox pen. Wacha has allowed four homers and four walks in his last two starts which is not a good sign at all. The Blue Jays do a great job at limiting strikeouts against RHP and their team OPS numbers are amongst the league's best. Wacha could be in for a very short start and I don't like the options Boston has out of the pen. I don't think Sunday's game will be as ugly as the final score on Saturday, but I do like Toronto to win by 2+ in the end and at plus money, it's a no-brainer for me.
