It took the Boston Red Sox 19 innings last night against the Toronto Blue Jays to end their 3-game skid and I like their chances to make it two in a row tonight when they face the Jays in the rubber game of a 3-game set at Fenway. Doug Fister has been outstanding for Boston in his last 3 starts, going 2-1, with a stingy ERA of 1.57, and has coupled that with a WHIP of just 0.65. Joe Biagini will get the nod for Toronto and in his last 3 outings, he posted a record of 0-2, with a 6.75 ERA, and a 1.88 WHIP. Biagini has pitched a total of 11 innings against Boston this year, which includes 1 start, and has allowed 7 runs on 12 hits during that span. The Jays are 0-4 in his last 4 starts and they are 1-4 in the last 5 meetings with Boston. Shane Livensparger will be behind the dish tonight and home teams are 4-0 in his last 4 games when he is pulling the strings.
TONIGHT’S PICK: BOSTON RED SOX
