Red Sox vs Blue Jays
Bats north of the border chill; Fenway fire stays hot.

Red Sox (17-14) VS Blue Jays (13-16)
May 01 2025 | 7:07 PM ET | Rogers Centre, Toronto

Boston enters this matchup on a good run of form, while Toronto tries to it's slump amid ongoing roster challenges. The Red Sox hold the edge in health and recent form, with their rotation drawing a favorable matchup against a Blue Jays lineup that’s lacked impact production lately. Meanwhile, Toronto continues to navigate key absences on both the mound and in the field, which only widens the gap between these AL East foes.
With both teams sitting at identical moneylines, the value clearly leans toward the hotter, more complete side. Boston has the momentum, a more settled bullpen, and a lineup that’s capitalized in this matchup before. It's a timely spot to ride the upward trend and back the visiting Sox.

Boston enters this AL East clash winning three of their last four, while Toronto looks to steady the ship after after a 2-8 run to end April. With key bats still missing on both sides and rotation questions lingering—particularly with neither team leaning on their aces—the game sets up for late-inning volatility. Bullpen depth will be tested early, especially with both managers knowing how tightly packed the standings are and willing to pull starters at the first sign of trouble.
Given the ballpark, the history of power production in this matchup, and the likelihood of extended bullpen exposure, the over looks like the smart side. Even if the starters hold their own through the middle innings, expect bats to break through as urgency mounts.

Toronto enters this one on a big slump, struggling at the plate and dealing with key bullpen absences, while Boston arrives with momentum and a lineup generating consistent run production. Even without a full roster, the Red Sox have patched together enough offense to stay above .500, and they send out a starter who’s performed well in this matchup on the road. Meanwhile, Toronto’s starter has had trouble keeping Boston’s bats quiet over his career, which adds to the pressure on a shorthanded bullpen.
With Boston’s current edge in form, matchup history, and bullpen stability, taking the run-and-a-half—despite the higher price—looks like a sound move. In a tight AL East race, every extra run matters, and the visiting side is better positioned to control this one late.
