Toronto Blue Jays +125 (@ Boston Red Sox)Rick Porcello vs R.A.Dickey We predicted that the Red Sox’s pitching troubles were dealt with successfully. Oh how wrong we were! It seems the Sox are handing out wins here and there, and pitching played a significant part last night in the Blue Jays’ impressive 11 runs on 17 hits. The AccuScore supercomputer sees no reason for the trend to stop, and sets Toronto as 53.6 percent favorites, as opposed to the 44.4 percent implied by +125 odds. Odds of -115 or better would be playable, so +125 offers great value.
