I’ll trust the road team to steal a win on Thursday.
Blue Jays starter Jose Berrios has struggled pitching at home this season. The 30-year-old has posted an ERA of 5.94 in three home starts.
This dynamic Red Sox lineup is poised to deliver a strong effort on Thursday in a favorable matchup.
Red Sox starter Tanner Houck has dominated this Blue Jays lineup, limiting it to a .202 average in 114 at-bats.
[subheader sizedown=”true” center=”false” text=”Red Sox Player Prop: Jarren Duran 2+ Bases” logo1url=”https://static.sprtactn.co/teamlogos/mlb/100/bos.png” link1=”https://www.actionnetwork.com/mlb/odds/boston-red-sox” link1follow=“false”][/subheader]
Jarren Duran has the best matchup of the night against Berrios. The Red Sox outfielder is batting .500 in 18 at-bats against him.
Duran has logged eight extra-base hits against Berrios, including three home runs.
We’re getting tremendous value on this play on Thursday.
