Boston Red Sox vs. Toronto Blue Jays Prediction

The Blue Jays have gotten off to a terrible start and they have the fewest wins in the Majors by far. They have lost two straight where their pitching has been hammered giving up a total of 19 runs. Toronto ranks dead last in baseball in runs scored as well, but even with all of those things they are the pick in this game. Porcello was rocked in his last outing and in three starts this season he has gone 16 innings and has given up 14 earned runs. On the other side of the coin Liriano was solid in his last start, but got little run support. However, he will get some in this game and the Blue Jays will win, even the series, and pick up their 3rd win on the young season.
