RED SOX/BLUE JAYS "ART OF THE GAME!" - GRAB THIS PICK FOR JUST $25!
(MLB) Boston vs. Toronto,
Money Line: -108.00 Boston (Away)
Result: Loss
This is an 8* ART OF THE GAME on the Boston Red Sox.

Neither of these starters has looked very good to open the year. Francisco Liriano is coming off a decent effort, but his team is a disaster. We think the reigning AL Cy Young winner bounces back with his best effort of the season tonight as we look for the Red Sox to build off yesterday's 8-7 series opening victory.

Rick Porcello: He's 1-1 with a 7.56 ERA. Most recently he gave up eight runs over 4.1 innings in a 10-2 loss to the Rays on Friday. Porcello has struggled to open the year, but we are expecting the veteran to finally settle down here. Note that he dominated in this spot for bettors last season, going 9-3 with a 3.31 ERA on the road.

Liriano: He's 0-1 with a 9.00 ERA. In his last outing he gave up two runs over seven innings, but was still saddled with a 2-1 loss to Baltimore on Friday. Liriano has been consistently inconsistent in this spot, going just 6-8 with a pedestrian 4.03 ERA in all "night" games.

The bottom line: The Jays are once again without slugger Josh Donaldson, which doesn't bode well for their struggling line-up. All things considered, we geel we're getting an excellent price on the RED SOX.
