Pivetta earned the victory against the Guardians after pitching seven innings and allowing two runs on nine hits with four strikeouts and zero walks. He has a record of 1-3 with an ERA of 6.04 and 47 strikeouts in 9 appearances against the Blue Jays in his career.
Toronto Blue Jays
The Blue Jays get here with a 42-32 record and have won 4 of their last 6 games. The team is averaging 4.7 runs per game and they're batting for .257 AVG, have 352 runs scored in 646 hits and 98 home runs, ranking #9 in offense in the league behind the Atlanta Braves.

Alek Manoah (4-2, 3.08 ERA) will be on the mound for the Blue Jays in the 2nd game of the series. Manoah took the win against the Brewers on Friday, winning with 6.2 innings of work, two runs on five hits, three walks, and six strikeouts. He has a 2-0 record with an ERA of 1.50 and 16 strikeouts in 3 appearances against the Red Sox in his career.
BETTING TRENDS
Boston Red Sox are 12-3 SU in their last 15 games on the road.
Boston Red Sox are 1-6 SU in their last 7 games when playing on the road against the Blue Jays.
Toronto Blue Jays are 5-5 SU in their last 10 games.
The total has gone UNDER in 5 of Toronto's last 7 games against Boston.
Prediction
The Red Sox were close to tie this series but the Blue Jays scored 2 runs in the bottom of the 9th inning to steal the win and there are more bad news for them as the Blue Jays will send Alek Manoah to start this game who has dominated them in his career. Nick Pivetta will start for the Red Sox and although he has been very good this season he has struggled against the Blue Jays and already lost to them earlier this season. I'm taking the Blue Jays for the sweep. Toronto is 6-1 in the last 7 games against Boston.
