The Boston Red Sox have been red-hot to close out the season, as the team has gone 12-3 in their past 15, but bettors should be aware just how hot they’ve been at hitting the UNDER. During that same 15 game span, the BoSox have gone UNDER on 12 occasions. Boston continues their season-ending series with the Toronto Blue Jays Saturday.
Eduardo Rodriguez will look to continue his strong play to end his season, as the lefty has a 2.89 ERA in his past five starts. Rodriguez went 6.0 innings last time he faced the Jays while allowing four hits and two earned runs.
J.A. Happ has been great all season long but he has been dominant in his limited outings against the Sox. The Jays’ lefty has a 2.08 ERA while giving up just eight hits compared to nine strikeouts in two starts against Boston this season.
