Toronto at Boston

Toronto has responded to a managerial change by winning five of its last six (4-1 under John Schneider), and has Kevin Gausman on the mound to open tonight's series. Gausman has pitched better than his 6-7 record indicates, as he owns a 2.87 ERA and has allowed only four runs his last four appearances covering 21 innings. Boston hitters are batting just .208 against him with only a .274 slugging percentage in 159 at-bats. Gausman has faced Boston three times this year and given up only one earned run in 21 innings with 27 strikeouts. Blue Jay hitters are batting .293 with a .595 slugging percentage against Nathan Eovaldi, who has a 4.67 ERA at home compared to 2.56 on the road. Toronto has won six straight following an off day and the Red Sox have lost six of their last seven games. Take the Blue Jays.
