MLB Odds: Jays Face Familiar Foe at Fenway

David Price spent half a season with the Toronto Blue Jays (65-78, minus-9.78 betting units) back in 2015, but it’ll be a new Toronto team that Price sees this Wednesday when he gets the start for the Boston Red Sox (98-46, plus-31.58 units). First pitch from Fenway Park is at 7:10 PM ET on Sportsnet and NESN.

The stripped-down Jays are no longer the World Series contenders they were three years ago when they acquired Price (3.57 ERA) for their playoff drive. They’re 17-20 since the July 31 non-waiver trade deadline, and Price is 20-3 lifetime against Toronto with a 2.52 ERA, including 3-0 this year. He’s No. 3 on the 2018 MLB starter list with 11.94 units in earnings on a team record of 20-7. Aaron Sanchez (5.17 ERA) will try to stop the bleeding for the Blue Jays. He’s barely ahead of the baseball odds this year at plus-0.05 units, leading Toronto to a 9-9 record, but in his last trip to Fenway on May 28, Sanchez gave up seven earned runs in five innings as Price and the Red Sox (–180) won 8-3. The Over got paid in each of Sanchez’ last five starts.

MLB Odds: Jays Visit Price, Red Sox

Price (3.57 ERA) played briefly for Toronto three years ago before signing a lucrative contract in Beantown. He’s 20-3 lifetime against the Blue Jays with a 2.52 ERA. Aaron Sanchez (5.17 ERA) responds for the Jays; he allowed seven runs in an 8-3 loss to Price and the Red Sox (–180 at home) on May 28.
