Red Sox vs. Blue Jays Best MLB Prop Bets

Red Sox Best MLB Prop Bet

• Romy Gonzalez OVER 1.5 Hits + Runs + RBIs (+110)

While he may not be a household name, Romy Gonzalez has been a big part of the Red Sox in the second half of the season. He’s found his home in the five hole in Boston’s order, and he’s making the most of it.

Gonzalez is riding a modest five-game hitting streak, going 8 for 17 (.471) with four runs and four RBI in that span. This came after three hitless games, which was preceded by a 14-game hitting streak for the infielder.

Dating back to August 28, Gonzalez is batting .383 (10 for 81) with 10 runs and 14 RBI. He’s gone Over 1.5 HRR in 17 of those 22 games, which includes a few shortened appearances.

Look for Gonzalez and the Sox to stay hot in Toronto on Thursday night.

Red Sox vs. Blue Jays Prediction and Pick

I broke down this game in Thursday’s edition of SI Betting’s best bets column – Walk-Off Wagers – and I’m taking the Red Sox as road underdogs:

The Blue Jays have seen their AL East lead evaporate, and they’re turning to Louis Varland in a bullpen game with the division on the line. Yet, somehow, they’re still decent favorites at home?

I get it, Bryan Bello hasn’t been great recently, allowing at least three earned runs in all four September starts, but the Red Sox have. They’ve outscored Toronto 11-2 through two games in this series and have won four of their last five games.

The Blue Jays have now been held to one run or fewer in each of their last six losses, which have all come in their last seven games. The lone victory was an 8-5 win in Kansas City on Sunday.

Boston has been good enough on the road at 41-39, and 30-31 as underdogs this season. Meanwhile, the Blue Jays are only 17-18 when favored with a line between -125 and -155.

Take the plus odds on the Red Sox as they look to complete the sweep and take another step toward clinching a playoff berth.

Pick: Red Sox moneyline (+118)
