Toronto vs Boston: the Red Socks to Lose Game 2 in Canada

In the first game of the home series against Boston, Toronto sealed a win. Will the Red Sox get revenge in Game 2? Let's pick a few options to bet on.

Toronto Plays Like the Best League Team

The start of the championship shows that bookmakers viewed Toronto as the top contender to win the American League for a good reason. After winning the first game of the series against Boston, the Blue Jays are 11:6. The team moved up to #1 in the conference-wide standings.

The highlight of the first game at Roger Stadium was Bo Bichette striking out the grand slam in the 8th inning. It was the first grand slam of the 24-year-old shortstop's career. 6:2 - Just two injuries in seven innings pitcher Nathan Eovaldi conceded.

Kevin Gausman will pitch for Toronto against Boston. The former San Francisco pitcher is 1:1 and has a 2.89 ERA in three starts this season. Including, Gausman has conceded just one run in as many as eight innings in a road game against the Red Sox on April 21.

Is Boston Having Second Season Syndrome?

The second championship under Alex Cora is not yet as promising as the first. The loss in the first road game against Toronto was Boston's 10th in 17 games. If this trend continues, the Sox simply won't put up a fight against division rivals Toronto, Tampa Bay and the New York Yankees even for the wild-card.

Nick Pivetta has been named Boston's starting pitcher for game two in Toronto. So far, the 29-year-old pitcher is not doing well in his new season, going 0:3 in three starts and a 10.03 ERA.

Expert Betting Tips

Toronto is just stronger than Boston right now. So whatever extra motivation the Red Sox have to close the gap in their season series, it's likely the Blue Jays will beat them again. Nick Pivetta is unlikely to miss very much again, but Toronto will still score at least 1 more run. Prediction - Toronto wins.
