Red Sox Aim for Sweep of Blue Jays

The Boston Red Sox have been riding a surprisingly potent offense in the early days of the 2016 season and can complete a three-game sweep of the Toronto Blue Jays north of the border on Sunday. Boston’s offense is averaging seven runs and the bullpen has yielded a total of two runs in 16 combined innings.

Shark Bites
  • The Red Sox are 2-5 in Wrights last 7 starts.
  • The UNDER is 4-0-1 in Estrada's last 5 starts.
  • The OVER is 7-3 in the last 10 meetings.

Boston came from behind to win both games in the series so far thanks to a lacklustre effort from the Bluebirds’ bullpen. The Jays have surrendered 16 runs in the first two contests of the season, however they do have the ever-solid Marco Estrada on the mound today. Steven Wright is scheduled to counter for the Sox.

The Red Sox have been a boon for OVER bettors, as they’ve gone above the closing total in each game so far this season. They haven’t exactly been lighting the world on fire with Wright on the road, going 1-4 in Wright’s last five starts away from Fenway Park dating back to last year.
