<p>The Toronto Blue Jays have had a rough week. They’ve lost two out of three to the Boston Red Sox to fall another game back in the standings and the other teams in the AL East Division are making moves. While the Red Sox haven’t made a big splash yet, the Tampa Bay Rays added Nelson Cruz and the New York Yankees added Joey Gallo.</p>



<p>Gaining a split at Fenway Park would soften the blow a little bit and that is what the Jays will attempt to do on Thursday night in Boston. The line shows the Red Sox as a slight favorite in the -115 range at <a href="https://www.bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/betus/"><strong>BetUS Sportsbook</strong></a> with a total of 10 in the battle between Hyun Jin Ryu and Eduardo Rodriguez.</p>



<h2><strong><u>Toronto Blue Jays</u></strong></h2>



<p>The Blue Jays sit 10.5 games back of the Red Sox after yesterday’s doubleheader split with 4-1 wins each way. They are only 4.5 games out of the second Wild Card spot, but the Oakland A’s also made an upgrade yesterday by acquiring Starling Marte. The Jays will return home to Rogers Centre after this game for the first time since 2019, but may do so only one game above .500.</p>



<p>In a lot of respects, this is a pretty big game for Toronto. The division is likely a pipe dream, but with mere hours left before the Trade Deadline after this game, the team should upgrade on the pitching side. Maybe the front office doesn’t believe that using prospects or other assets on this team is a good idea right now.</p>



<p>We’ll have to wait and see, but going back home to Rogers Centre on a high note would be nice for Toronto. This is an offense that ranks second in wOBA, but a big portion of that success has come in “home” ballparks in Dunedin and Buffalo. The road has been less kind to the Jays, though they still rank in the top six in road production because most other teams have low outputs.</p>



<p>Hyun Jin Ryu brings a 3.44 ERA and a 3.87 FIP into this start. The 34-year-old southpaw has worked 110 innings across 19 starts this season. He’s had some regression to the mean this season, as his K% has fallen to below 20% for the first time since 2016. He’s also allowed a lot more hard contact, but has mostly been able to pitch around it with a 77% LOB% and a .284 BABIP. His Hard Hit% of 41.3% is the highest he has had in the Statcast era and he has set a new high mark in Barrels allowed.</p>



<h2><strong><u>Boston Red Sox</u></strong></h2>



<p>Eduardo Rodriguez will hope to stay on the right path for the Red Sox. Their 28-year-old southpaw has an ugly 5.23 ERA, but has a 3.51 FIP and a 3.34 xFIP, so he is a positive regression candidate through and through. E-Rod has a 65.8% LOB% and a .355 BABIP against, so he’s fallen on the wrong side of both luck and variance more often than not this season.</p>



<p>What is so crazy about Rodriguez’s season is that, while he has allowed 14 home runs, he only has a 35.5% Hard Hit%. That is a career high for him, but still far better than the league average in that metric. He certainly doesn’t deserve a .355 BABIP for his troubles. His 27.4% K% is the highest of his career. He has allowed five runs on 14 hits in 17.2 innings in the month of July, so it would seem that his better fortunes may have finally arrived.</p>



<p>It isn’t like Rodriguez, or any other Red Sox starter, has to be that great in order to give the team a chance. That is because the Red Sox have a top-five offense in baseball. Fenway Park is conducive to offense and the Sox are a top-five unit there as well. They make a lot of contact and a lot of quality contact at that. They’re also much more aggressive at home, so they’ve been able to use the park to their advantage in that regard.</p>



<p>The Red Sox are 33-21 at home and 22-15 against left-handed starters this season. The Blue Jays are 11-16 against southpaw starters, but are 28-26 at home. Even with all of their offensive successes at home, the Jays are just 22-22 in that split.</p>



<h2 id="h-blue-jays-vs-red-sox-free-pick"><strong><u>Blue Jays vs. Red Sox Free Pick</u></strong></h2>



<p>You have to look at Boston again today. The Red Sox have a pitcher trending in the right direction in Rodriguez and a guy that shows a lot of positive signs moving forward. The Blue Jays have a guy in Ryu that hasn’t seemed fully healthy of late and has been allowing a lot of hard contact, which has been exacerbated by the decreased strikeout rate. The Red Sox are the pick for tonight.</p>

The Avalanche are -275 moneyline favorites on <a href="https://www.bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/betonline/">BetOnline Sportsbook</a>, while the total is set at 6.5 goals. These inter-conference rivals will meet for the first time this season.</p>



<p><strong>Red Wings couldn’t complete a comeback against Columbus</strong></p>



<p>The Detroit Red Wings (18-16-5-2, 22-19) were looking to conclude their three-game home stand with the third victory but lost to the weakest team in the Eastern Conference. The Red Wings defeated Winnipeg and Toronto, scoring 11 goals in the process, but they couldn’t beat the Columbus Blue Jackets, who celebrated a 4-3 win in Detroit.</p>



<p>Columbus got to a 4-0 lead early in the second period before Detroit scored three through Olli Maatta, Jake Walman, and Lucas Raymond in the final frame. However, that wasn’t enough to complete a comeback, so the Red Wings fell short. This year, Dylan Larkin is the only Red Wing in the top 100 in the NHL when it comes to points with 38 (G 14, A 24).</p>



<p>Ville Husso (14-9-5) is a probable goalie against Colorado on Monday. The 27-year-old is surrendering 3.00 goals per game this season with a .902 SV% and three shutouts.</p>



<p>D Mark Pysyk (Achilles), RW Matt Luff (wrist), and LW Filip Zadina (lower body) are out indefinitely and will not feature on Monday in Denver.</p>



<p><strong>Avalanche dismantled Ottawa at home</strong></p>



<p>The Colorado Avalanche (21-17-1-2, 18-23 ATS) are not going through a good period of the year, but they did display their best performance of the season in a 7-0 home victory over the Ottawa Senators. The reigning champions lost seven of eight games before this win, snapping a four-game losing skid at home along the way.</p>



<p>The Avs scored a season-high seven goals and reminisced of a team that won the Stanley Cup last year. Artturi Lehkonen and Alex Newhook led the team with three points apiece, while Pavel Francouz registered his first shutout of the campaign as he stopped all 29 shots at his goal. So far this term, Mikko Rantanen leads Colorado with 53 points (G 29, A 24) and is in the top 10 in the NHL in that regard. Nathan MacKinnon with 43 (G 11, A 32) and Cale Makar with 40 points (G 11, A 29) are also key players for the Avalanche.</p>



<p>Alexandar Georgiev (16-11-3) is expected to start at the goal against the Red Wings on Monday. The 26-year-old is allowing 2.75 goals per contest this year along with a .915 SV% and two shutouts.</p>



<p>LW Gabriel Landeskog (lower body), LW Valeri Nichushkin (ankle), and LW Darren Helm (lower body) are out indefinitely and will not be available against the Red Wings on Monday.</p>



<p>Trends:</p>



<p><strong>Detroit:</strong></p>



<ul><li>5-11 in the last 16 overall</li><li>5-21 in the last 26 Monday games</li></ul>



<p><strong>Colorado:</strong></p>



<ul><li>5-0 in the last five games when playing at home against Detroit</li><li>20-7 in the last 27 Monday games</li></ul>



<p><strong>Detroit Red Wings vs. Colorado Avalanche Pick&nbsp;&nbsp;</strong></p>



<p>Colorado is not playing well offensively this year as the Avs are scoring 2.98 goals per game, but the last 7-0 victory is going to boost their morale for this tilt with Detroit. The Avalanche is better when it comes to defense as they allow 2.83 goals per contest, while Detroit surrenders 3.34 gpg. The Red Wings lost six of the last seven games on the road and given their recent record at Colorado, I am going with the Avalanche to get a win on Monday. It’s going to be another comfortable victory for Colorado.</p>



<p><strong>Pick:</strong> Take the Avalanche at -1.5 Puck Line (+108)</p>



<p><strong>The Total</strong></p>



<p>While I don’t expect the Avalanche to score seven goals again, I am backing the hosts to score 4+ against Husso, who allowed 4+ goals in seven of his last nine starts. Colorado did keep the net intact in the previous game, but that is unlikely to happen on Monday, considering Georgiev’s form and the fact that he conceded 4+ goals in four of his previous seven starts. Over is 4-1 in the last five H2H meetings, while Over is 3-0-1 in the previous four H2H duels in Colorado.</p>



<p><strong>Pick:</strong> Go Over 6.5 goals (-110)</p>

They have been a great run-line bet as an underdog at 20-4.</p><p>Today's over/under line is set at 9 runs for the New York Yankees' game against the Toronto Blue Jays.
