MLB - 969 Boston Red Sox @ 970 Toronto Blue Jays
(Starting Pitchers: J. Lester vs E. Rogers)
Boston will start Jon Lester tonight, who is coming from three runs (one earned) allowed against Kansas City last Thursday. This was a good bounce back from Lester, who had a disastrous outing against Arizona, where he was unlucky as well with a .588 BABIP! Toronto's offense is no joke, but they are just #18 against LH pitchers, with .200 BA on their last 10 games against them. Therefore, I believe Lester will have a decent outing tonight.
Esmil Rogers will start for the Blue Jays and he is still on the rotation only because of Josh Johnson's injury. He has been a pure disaster on the second half of the season, with 7, 5, 8, 2 and 4 earned runs allowed! His numbers against LH batters are absolutely terrible with .321 BA, .394 wOBA, 5.47 FIP and 4.96 xFIP! Therefore, Rogers will have a horrible matchup tonight against a Red Sox's lineup that will have five players hitting from the left side:
1. Jacoby Ellsbury (L) CF
2. Shane Victorino (S) RF
3. Dustin Pedroia (R) 2B
4. David Ortiz (L) DH
5. Jonny Gomes (R) LF
6. Stephen Drew (L) SS
7. Mike Napoli (R) 1B
8. Jarrod Saltalamacchia (S) C
9. Will Middlebrooks (R) 3B
Therefore, I believe Boston will have an easy win tonight and so, I'll be taking them in here.
