Red Sox vs Blue Jays Betting Pick
This game will be played at Rogers Centre at 7:07 PM ET on Wednesday, June 29, 2022.
Why Bet The Blue Jays:
✅ Alek Manoah will get the nod for the Jays. He’s had one bad start so far this season and carries a shiny 9-2 record, 2.05 ERA, and 0.96 WHIP into this battle with the Red Sox. Manoah met Boston once in April and tossed seven scoreless innings in a 1-0 victory at Rogers Centre. The 24-year-old righty ranks in the 92nd percentile in expected slugging percentage and xwOBA, while his four-seamer owns a minus-8 run value.
✅ Nick Pivetta will get the starting call for Boston, and the 29-year-old righty holds an 8-5 record, 3.25 ERA, and 1.10 WHIP in 15 starts (88.2 innings pitched) in 2022. Pivetta went 0-1 in a couple of dates with Toronto in April, allowing seven earned runs on ten hits across 8.2 innings of work. The current Blue Jays are slashing .259/.365/.440 with six home runs in 114 at-bats against Pivetta.

✅ The current Red Sox lineup has only six hits and a .286 OPS in 45 at-bats versus Alek Manoah. Rafael Devers is 1-for-6, Christian Arroyo is 1-for-5, while JD Martinez, Xander Bogaerts, Trevor Story, and Christian Vazquez are all hitless against Manoah.
Boston Red Sox
The Sawx put an end to their seven-game winning streak and fell to 42-32 on the season following a 7-2 defeat at Rogers Centre this past Monday. They were sitting at the second spot in the AL East, half a game ahead of the Blue Jays and 12 behind the NY Yankees. Boston is hitting .293/.375/.441 with 12 homers across 444 at-bats in the last couple of weeks.
Toronto Blue Jays
The Jays snapped their two-game skid and improved to 41-32 following Monday’s victory over the Red Sox. They are slashing .247/.309/.457 with 24 round-trippers across 457 at-bats in the last two weeks of action. Toronto has dropped eight of its previous 13 contests, including a couple of surprising home losses to the Baltimore Orioles. The Jays haven’t won the series since June 12 and a three-game set against the lowly Detroit Tigers.
