This was especially tough, as they held a lead going into the 9th inning before the Guardians scored two runs in the bottom of the 9th. Toronto was the -104 favorite on the money line going into the game.</p>

<p>Offensively, the Blue Jays were carried by Spencer Horwitz, who went 2/3 with two homers and three RBIs. However, the Blue Jays wasted a big game from Horwersitz, as they couldn't close things out. Yusei Kikuchi got the start for the Blue Jays and took the loss. He only lasted two innings, giving up four earned runs. The Blue Jays also issued three walks in the 9th inning.</p><p>Toronto is on the road today vs. the Red Sox, having lost six straight games, and they are 15.5 games behind the Yankees in the AL East. The Blue Jays are 35-42 overall and are 5th in the AL East. So far, they are 9-13 in divisional games.</p>

<p>At home, the Blue Jays are 18-19 this year and 17-23 on the road. This season, they are just 6-22 as the underdog, and their overall series record is 9-12-4. Toronto's series losing streak is at two games right now, and they lost their most recent series vs. the Guardians.</p><p>When the Blue Jays are on the road, they have been a good bet to cover the run line, going 22-18. Their average run differential in those games is -0.4, and they have been outscored by an average of 0.6 runs per game overall. They have been a better bet to cover the run line as the underdog, going 12-16, compared to 23-26 as the favorite.</p><p>When the Toronto Blue Jays are on the road, the over/under line is set at 8.5 runs, which is slightly higher than their season average of 8.3 runs per game. Overall, the Blue Jays have an over/under record of 33-41, and their games have had an average over/under line of 8 runs. When the line is set at 8.5 runs, the Blue Jays have gone over the total in 8 of 23 games.</p><p>Chris Bassitt is looking to build off his last outing, where he finished with a no-decision. Against the Red Sox on June 18th, he went six innings, giving up two earned runs, six hits, and two homers. Looking back over his last three outings, Bassitt has finished with a no-decision in each one. He has made 15 starts this season and has a record of 6-6 with a 3.52 ERA. Opposing batters are hitting .257 off the right-hander this season. Bassitt's ERA at home is 5.51 compared to 3.26 on the road.</p><p>So far this season, the Blue Jays offense has really struggled, as they are averaging just 3.8 runs per game (27th) and are also near the bottom of the league in home runs and batting average. One thing they have done well is avoid striking out, as they are 3rd in the league in fewest strikeouts. As a team, they are batting just .232, which is 18th in the league.</p>

<p>Currently, Davis Schneider and Daulton Varsho are 2nd and 3rd on the team in home runs, but both have struggled in terms of batting average, with Schneider hitting .225 and Varsho at .207. Varsho does come into the game on a two-game hitting streak.

<p>At home, the Red Sox are 18-20 this season compared to 24-16 on the road. So far, they have gone 21-15 as the favorite and an even 21-21 as the underdog. Boston's series record is 12-9-4 this year, and they have won four straight series.</p><p>When it comes to betting the run line on the Red Sox, it's been a mixed bag. Boston is 37-41 overall, but they've been much better on the road (23-17) than at home (14-24). They've covered the run line in two straight games at Fenway Park, but as the favorite, they're just 12-24 against the run line.</p><p>When the Red Sox are at home, the over/under line is set at 8.5 runs, and their games have averaged 8.7 runs per game. Boston's over/under record is 35-38, and their games have had an average line of 8 runs. When the line is set at 8.5 runs, the over/under record is 13-11.

They have been even better on the road, averaging 5 runs per game. Overall, the Red Sox are 6th in team batting average at .254 and have the league's best BABIP at .32.

<p>Jarren Duran and Tyler O'Neill have been swinging hot bats of late, with Duran going 13/32 in his last seven games, and O'Neill is 7/21 with three homers in his last six games. Duran is also on a 13 game hitting streak. For the season, O'Neill is the team's leader in homers, while Rafael Devers is 2nd on the team with 14 homers and has driven in 39 runs.</p>
