The Blue Jays have lost his last two starts where he has gone eight 1/3 innings and given up 13 earned runs. Happ was excellent in his only beginning this season against the Red Sox on April 24th going seven innings allowing one deserved run on four hits in a 4-3 Toronto win. The Blue Jays have won four of his last five road starts against the Red Sox and in 18 career appearances, including 17 starts, against them he is 7-3 with an ERA of 3.09.

In Price’s last start he gave up four earned runs over four 2/3 innings in a 15-4 win over the Kansas City Royals. The Red Sox have won nine of Price’s last 11 starts, but two back his last one was his worst of the season where he was tagged for eight earned runs including five HRs in an 11-1 loss to the New York Yankees. Price’s two starts of the season against the Blue Jays came in May in two Boston wins where he totaled 10 1/3 innings giving up four earned runs. To say Price has pitched well against the Blue Jays in his career would be an understatement going 19-3 with a solid ERA of 2.46.

Jays vs. Red Sox Prediction 7/12/18
Boston has owned Toronto this season winning seven of their nine meeting including all three at Fenway Park. I can't play them at -175, and I'm going to rule out fading them in this spot at the current line of +165 as the value doesn't justify it. The total number though looks like it holds some value giving us the edge on the linesmaker. Ex-Jay David Price gets the ball for the home side, and he's been great historically against Toronto, and of the starters, Randal Grichuk (2 for 4) and Devon Travis (5 for 14) are the only batters that have had success against Price. The Jays send out J.A. and Happ has had his struggles as of late allowing 13 over 8 1/3 in his last two, but both those came at home at the Rogers Center where he has struggled at times this season. On the road, it's been a different a story with Happ going 4-1 with a decent WHIP of 1.11 and ERA of 2.83. He’s owned the Red Sox batters allowing the projected lineup to hit a combined measly .193 in 181 at bats making a return to form a strong possibility tonight. I’m looking at 4-2 type game tonight.
