Toronto’s righthander Trent Thornton will be making his first start of the season today. Thornton is 0-3 in his career team starts against Boston with a massive 12.20 ERA and 2.81 WHIP. Thornton will be facing a Red Sox team which has gone 8-3 versus righthanded starters while scoring an average of 6.5 runs per game. Toronto has combined to score only 4 runs and produce 11 hits over their last 3 games which have all resulted in losses.

Garret Richards will take the mound for Boston today. After a disastrous 2021 debut against Baltimore, Richards has settled in nicely over his last 2 starts while recording a 1.80 ERA in 10.0 innings pitched. Richards can take comfort in know that his bullpen has been lights out over Boston’s previous 7 games. Throughout that stretch, Red Sox relievers have a cumulative 1.48 ERA and 0.90 WHIP. Richards is 25-5 in his career team starts as a money line favorite of -125 to -175. The Boston hurler will be facing a Toronto team that has a terrible .284 team on-base-percentage in 2021. The Red Sox have gone an unbeaten 7-0 this season when facing an American League opponent with a team on-base-percentage of .320 or worse. Bet on Boston for a 10* Top Play wager.
