Starting Pitchers 

Connor Seabold is set to make the second start of his career and his first of the 2022 season for the Red Sox. Seabold has recorded an impressive 2.09 ERA and a 0.99 WHIP with 51 strikeouts in 51.2 innings pitched for Boston’s Triple-A affiliate this season.

Kevin Gausman pitched six innings and allowed two earned runs with seven strikeouts in a 7-6 Blue Jays loss to the Chicago White Sox last Tuesday. Gausman is 5-6 with a 3.19 ERA and a 1.28 WHIP this season but has struggled in June with an 0-3 record, a 5.50 ERA and a 2.00 WHIP across four starts. 

Boston Has Been Dominant On The Road In June

Rafael Devers and J.D. Martinez collected three hits apiece as the Red Sox rolled to an 8-3 win over the Cleveland Guardians on Sunday afternoon. Boston moved to 7-0 over its last seven games with the win and has outscored opponents 40-20 over that stretch.

With those three wins coming on the road, Boston also improved to 12-2 in its last 14 games away from home. Bettors taking Boston as their Red Sox vs Blue Jays prediction have to be thrilled to be getting a team as hot as the Red Sox are at such a big underdog price.

Toronto Has Enjoyed Recent Success Against Boston

Toronto carried a six-game winning streak into June and went a respectable 9-5 through the first 14 games of this month. The Blue Jays have cooled off since then, however, with a 4-8 record over their last 12 games, most recently losing to the Milwaukee Brewers 10-3 on Sunday.

Pitching has been a major issue for the Blue Jays during this 12-game slump as the club has allowed 7.17 runs per game during this skid. Toronto will try to turn things around against a Boston team that the Blue Jays have enjoyed recent success against with a 5-1 record in the last six games between these two division rivals.

Red Sox vs Blue Jays Pick & Insights

Boston: Keys To Victory

The Red Sox have been hitting and pitching well over their current seven-game winning streak. If Connor Seabold can carry the momentum of a strong season in the minor leagues into this start, Boston could be a solid upset pick as a Red Sox vs Blue Jays prediction in this one.

Toronto: Keys To Victory

Toronto’s offense is averaging 6.86 runs per game over the the team’s last seven games, but that has only resulted in a 3-4 record due to poor pitching. Kevin Gausman has allowed three earned runs or less in all but one of his starts this season; a similar effort on Monday will give Toronto a good chance to convert as a Red Sox vs Blue Jays pick.
