Red Sox at Blue Jays 9/11/19 - MLB Picks & Predictions

In Wednesday night MLB action, the Boston Red Sox and Toronto Blue Jays will battle from Rogers Centre. Last night, Boston failed to score in the final four innings of a 4-3 road loss against Toronto. Mookie Betts connected on his 28th home run of the season for the Red Sox, who are seven games above .500 overall.

Boston manager Alex Cora has yet to name a starting pitcher for this contest. The Red Sox rank 19th in the majors with a 4.65 team ERA and have logged 49 quality starts.

The Toronto Blue Jays have won 28 of their 70 home games and have a bright future with a bevy of talented position players. On Tuesday, rookie Cavan Biggio homered and scored twice to spark the Toronto offense. Reese McGuire and Rowdy Tellez also went deep for the Blue Jays, who won for the 56th time. 

Twenty-five year old righty Trent Thornton (4-9 5.23 ERA) will head to the hill for the Blue Jays on Wednesday. Toronto has lost each of Thornton’s last six starts and he has given up 17 runs over his last 33 plus innings.
