Live MLB - Toronto Blue Jays at Boston Red Sox 12am ESPN

An interesting one. Lester has been tough on the Blue Jays this season (2-0, 2.05 ERA; 13-7, 3.61 ERA lifetime) but has been awful L3 (2.35/9.98).

Chien-Ming Wang (1-0, 2.18) is in the opposite position; he has a poor record in Boston (3-4, 5.40 ERA, 6-6 with a 4.98 ERA lifetime) but has a 1.26/2.18 line L3 and hasn't given up an earned run in 16 1/3 innings. He also hasn't seen the Red Sox since 2009.

Although these teams are at opposite ends of the AL East, Toronto have begun to wake up, going 8-2 L10 and I'm going to take the road dog here and hope Lester's recent poor form continues.

The Toronto bullpen has been brutal recently, so if Chien-Ming Wang can keep this competitive, the price looks value.

Pick: Toronto Blue Jays @ 2.55
  
42 - 47 (-4.01)

*Apologies for picking the earlier game which was not live on TV - I deleted it for the sake of keeping the Blog tidy. It lost anyway!
