Red Sox vs. Blue Jays Best MLB Prop Bets

Blue Jays Best MLB Prop Bet

• Kevin Gausman OVER 17.5 Outs (-163)

Kevin Gausman has been a workhorse for the Blue Jays this season. He’s already pitched two more innings than he did last year, and he’s been heating up at the right time for Toronto.

The veteran righthander has pitched at least six innings in five straight starts, including a two-hit shutout against the Astros in his last home outing. In fact, Gausman has recorded over 17.5 outs in all but one of his starts since the All-Star break.

The Blue Jays have clinched a playoff spot, but they still need to hold off the Yankees in the AL East. 

Look for Gausman to eat some innings once again for Toronto at home.

Red Sox vs. Blue Jays Prediction and Pick

The Blue Jays are one of the best home teams in the league this season. Despite finishing a game under .500 on the road (40-41), they’re poised to win the AL East thanks to a 50-25 record at Rogers Centre.

The Red Sox head into their final road series at 39-39 away from home, but the Blue Jays did take two of three from them in Toronto back in late April.

That’s been a common theme this season between these two teams, actually, with Toronto boasting a 7-3 record against Boston in its 10 meetings.

Pick: Blue Jays moneyline (-164)
