Postgame

The pick lost. Boston's lineup never got the edge we expected — Toronto's offense did the damage instead, breaking a 1-0 game open with 5 runs in the 8th. The 9th-inning rally proved the lineup could still hit, but by then the bullpen had already given the game away.

Pregame

Boston's price still reflects a team with the better full-season record, even after 4 straight losses. The Red Sox were the better club for most of this year and just rode a 9-game winning streak — this skid looks more like a rough week than a form change. Backing them here is a bet that talent snaps back before the Blue Jays' surprising form does.

Boston came in without half its rotation — Garrett Crochet, Tanner Houck, Johan Oviedo and Kutter Crawford all on the 60-day IL — while Triston Casas, Trevor Story and Isiah Kiner-Falefa remain out on the position-player side too. Toronto had its own fresh scars, having just placed Jameson Taillon on the 15-day IL and lost Trey Yesavage to knee surgery, with Jake Bloss also going down the day of this game.

None of that dictated the outcome. This one turned on one bad inning for Boston's bullpen, and the board tells the story before the recap even starts.

Toronto had trailed 1-0 into the middle innings before erupting for 5 runs in the 8th, the kind of frame that turns a taut pitchers' duel into a laugher in about 10 minutes. Boston clawed back with 3 in the 9th to make it interesting, but the deficit was too much to climb all the way out of, and the Jays closed it out 6-4.

It's the fifth straight loss for a Red Sox club that's now dropped 3 in a row to Toronto specifically, a rough stretch for a team that was 64-55 and playing meaningful games as recently as last week. Toronto, by contrast, has won 4 of its last 5 and is starting to look like the tougher out at home. Boston heads out of Rogers Centre needing a reset in a hurry.
