Red Sox vs Blue Jays MLB Prediction and Odds: Recent Form

After a breakthrough end to their 2021 campaign with a 2^nd place in the division, the Red Sox needs to do a far better job this time around to make it to the play-off games. Despite starting off on the wrong foot with a defeat against the Yankees, they did a mockery of the Tigers and Twins in the fixtures that followed.

In the last 5 outings, they have dispatched Twins on two occasions and are likely to go one more with a win against Blue Jays here. They are currently sitting in the 2^nd spot in AL East and are having a balanced home record so far.

On the other hand, the Toronto Blue Jays had a dismal season in 2021 without a place in the postseason. This not only lifted their spirits but also projected them to be one of the dark horses this time around. They were off with consecutive triumphs against the Rangers and were with 4 victories in six games when they faced the Yankees.

From then on, things started to get better for the underdogs as they hammered Athletics and Yankees to dominate the proceedings. With one defeat and a win in the last game, the Blue Jays are looking to cement their top spot in the AL East group.
