<h2>Tuesday's Pitching Match-Up </h2>
<p>This pitching match-up is a rematch of a game played back on April 27 also at Rogers Centre, a 7-1 Boston victory.</p>
<p><a class="advblue" href="https://www.sportsbettingstats.com/mlb/pitcherlog/79413&quot; title="Ross Stripling Pitching Game Stats">Stripling</a> is 2/9 on quality starts this season and two for his last three. Last Wednesday, he held the White Sox to one run and five hits through six innings of a 9-5 Toronto victory. And over his last four starts, he's allowed just three runs and 12 hits through 20 2/3 innings.</p>
<p>The Blue Jays are 5-4 with Stripling this season, 3-1 his last four times out.</p>
<p>Over his last four starts against the Red Sox, three last year, and the one back in April of this season, Stripling allowed 17 runs and 22 hits, including six home runs, through just 14 2/3 innings. Toronto lost all four of those games, and three of those games played over on the totals.</p>
<p><a class="advblue" href="https://www.sportsbettingstats.com/mlb/pitcherlog/48251&quot; title="Michael Wacha Pitching Game Logs">Wacha</a> is 3/12 on quality starts this year, but some of that is due to a short leash. Five times this season, he's pitched to within three outs or less of a QS, only to get pulled. Last Wednesday, he held Detroit to two runs and five hits through six innings of a 6-2 Boston win. And over his last five starts, he's allowed eight runs - only six earned - and 25 hits through 30 1/3 innings.</p>
<p>The Red Sox are 9-3 with Wacha this season, 3-1 his last four times out.</p>
<p>Over his last three starts against the Blue Jays, two last year while with Tampa Bay, and the one back in April of this season, Wacha allowed seven runs and 12 hits through 14 innings. His teams won two of those three games.</p>
<h2>Splits With the Sticks </h2>
<p>Boston is batting .260 against right-handed pitching this season, with a .320 team OBP and a .411 team slugging percentage. The Red Sox have also scored at least five runs seven times over their last ten games.</p>
<p>Toronto is slashing .252/.318/.431 against right-handed pitching. The Blue Jays have also scored at least six runs six times over their last eight games.</p>
<h2>The Bullpens </h2>
<p>The Toronto bullpen owns a 4.36 ERA this season, along with a 1.29 WHIP.</p>
<p>The Boston pen owns a 3.71 ERA and a 1.20 WHIP.<br />

Red Sox at Blue Jays Prediction 6/28/22

We give Wacha the edge in the pitching match-up, and Boston owns the edge in the bullpen comparison. Meanwhile, we'll call the splits with the sticks a wash. From there, the Red Sox are one of the hottest teams in baseball over the last month or so, and they're getting an underdog price. We like the betting value with Boston for Tuesday night.
