With the All-Star break in the rearview mirror, the Toronto Blue Jays and Boston Red Sox begin a three-game series at Fenway Park tonight.

Meanwhile, the Red Sox have been struggling — especially against AL East foes against whom they are just 12-26 on the year. While these clubs are pretty close to each other in the standings, there are few reasons besides home-field advantage to consider the Red Sox today. Opposing batters have a slugging percentage of just .373 against him, and he has surrendered just three homers in 94 innings this year. Even though Eovaldi is coming off a rough outing against the Yankees, he has still pitched to a 2.03 ERA and 1.00 WHIP in his last five starts. That, combined with the recent play of both teams, has me backing the slim road faves. They should have a tough time against Toronto starter Kevin Gausman, as he’s looked sharp lately and has dominated Boston this year — allowing just one earned run and striking out 27 in 21 innings over three starts. Our best bet is our favorite pick across all markets. The Blue Jays are 7-2 in the last nine meetings between these AL East foes. He’s coming off a shaky outing against the Yankees, where he surrendered six hits and three runs while walking two before getting the hook midway through the fifth inning. Kevin Gausman (6-7, 2.87 ERA): Gausman joined the Jays after putting together his first All-Star campaign with the Giants last year. Meanwhile, the total has moved up to 9.0. AL East battles like this will be crucial to determining the playoff picture, with just two games separating these teams in the division standings.
