George Springer is batting only .221 for Toronto but the right fielder has the second most total bases for the Blue Jays with 180. Springer has 17 doubles, 2 triples and 19 home runs to go along with 64 singles. Springer has had at least 2 total bases in 2 of Toronto’s last 3 games and in 7 of the Blue Jays last 12 games. We are confident that against Boston pitching on Thursday that Springer will have at least 2 total bases.
Bowden Francis - Hits Over 4.5 (-115)
Toronto starting pitcher Bowden Francis is 7-3 with an ERA of 4.02, 70 strikeouts and a 1.07 WHIP in 22 appearances.

Francis has allowed 3 hits or less in each of his last 4 starts but when facing a tough Boston lineup we are confident the right-hander will give up at least 5 hits on Thursday.
