Blue Jays vs. Red Sox Best Prop Bet

Richard Fitts UNDER 3.5 Strikeouts (-140) via BetMGM

Richard Fitts recorded four strikeouts against the Rangers in his first start of the season but now he has to take on a Blue Jays team that has shown discipline at the plate this season. Toronto has a strikeout percentage of just 20.8% so far this season. Fitts also recorded just 3.9 strikeouts per nine innings last season. I'll take the UNDER on his strikeout total tonight.

Blue Jays vs. Red Sox Prediction and Pick

Instead of betting on a side in this game, I'm going to take the OVER instead. I don't trust either pitcher in this matchup. Easton Lucas of the Blue Jays posted an 11.57 ERA in 11.2 innings pitched in the Majors last season. Meanwhile, Richard Fitts of the Red Sox has just five Major League starts in his career and regression is certainly coming for the young arm.

Offensively, both teams are in the top half of Major League Baseball in OPS through the first week and a half of the season. The Red Sox rank third in that stat at .814 and the Blue Jays come in at 14th at .708.

Let's sit back and root for runs in this AL East showdown.
