This is a 9* on TORONTO

Boston is off to a great start so far at 11-6. Only the Dodgers have outscored their opponents by a greater margin. Yesterday morning, the Red Sox jumped all over the White Sox early en route to an 11-4 win. We had the Over, which was a winner by the second inning when the Red Sox were already up 8-1. But today is a day we expect the Red Sox to struggle as they have to face Hyun-Jin Ryu and the Blue Jays. Monday was an off-day for Toronto, much needed after they lost three of four in Kansas City. Boston not getting any time off between series has them at a disadvantage and Ryu has yet to allow more than two runs in a start this year. He’s given up only five runs in three starts and has 19 strikeouts in 19 innings. We think it’s just a matter of time before the Toronto lineup wakes up and they’ve had success in the past against Eduardo Rodriguez, who gets the start today for Boston. Rodriguez has a 4.64 ERA in 14 previous tries against the Blue Jays. Boston is just 7-20 its last 27 home games vs. lefty starters. Play on TORONTO
