My Prediction
Toronto Blue Jays by 3Here we go again, folks. We have the Toronto Blue Jays taking on the Boston Red Sox at mighty Fenway Park. The dimensions alone almost seem like they've been around longer than Keith Richards. Now, onto the fun stuff. Toronto's giving us Chris Bassitt on the mound. Season stats so far: a 3.70 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and an impressive 9 K's per nine innings coming in off 16 appearances. His Boston counterpart is Lucas Giolito. Had his Wheaties this season? Maybe not. Giolito sports a 4.52 ERA, 1.43 WHIP, and 8.3 K's per nine in 10 games. But let's not judge a book by its initials just yet.
Swinging their bats for Toronto are Clement, Kirk, Bichette, and Springer. No, not a law firm, but they're guilty of wreaking havoc on other teams. Rounding out the Red Sox lineup, Rafaela, Toro, and Story are out to ink their names on the scoreboard.
Now, history tells me something interesting. The last time they played, you might have thought the Blue Jays were serving pancakes for dinner, because they handed the Red Sox a big fat goose egg: Blue Jays 9, Red Sox 0. Let's not forget that impressive 44-37 standing they have in the regular season too. As for Boston, they've been playing like someone put their Xbox controller on novice-level, sitting with a 40-43 record.
Reading the Boston team's fortune in a soggy tea bag might be more reliable than their recent form. They've been on a losing streak as cold as winter in Siberia, while the Blue Jays have been flaring up more than an old man’s gout lately, with a win streak that could make a peacock blush.
Alright, I guess you want me to play Nostradamus. From mountains to molehills and everything in between, I'd say we're riding with the Toronto Blue Jays on this one, and by a nice cozy margin to boot.
Albert’s Prediction: Toronto Blue Jays by 3.
