The Toronto Blue Jays tonight look to make it six straight wins when they host the Boston Red Sox.
After a three game season-opening sweep by the Yankees, Toronto went to Minnesota and swept the Twins in a three-game set. Last night they made it five straight wins with a 10-5 victory in the second game of this series. Staff ace Roy Halladay gets the start tonight and he will be very keen to post his first win of the season after a no-decision Saturday despite allowing just two runs in seven innings against the Twins.
Boston are 5-4 this season and seven of those games have been against opposition of questionable quality in the Devil Rays and Orioles. They have lost three of their last four games overall and tonight send veteran John Burkett to the mound. The right-hander has a 6-4 record against Toronto with a 3.81 ERA but he may need a big lead tonight before handing it over to the Red Sox struggling 'closers-by-commitee'.
The Blue Jays have won the last five times these teams have played at the SkyDome and have outscored the Red Sox 33-15 in these games.
We cashed with Toronto last night as an underdog and will ride them again tonight as a small favorite.
Recommended Play: Toronto -125
