Team Analysis
Boston Red Sox
Boston has had the better of this series so far if the first two games have gone as expected, but a road team that has already banked the series can be vulnerable to a letdown in Game 3.
Probable Starter: TBD (confirm before publish)
Toronto Blue Jays
Toronto avoiding a sweep at home is exactly the kind of spot where a rebuilding club plays its most inspired baseball of the week. Pride games at home, with a crowd that does not want to watch a sweep, tend to bring out a sharper version of a bad team.
Probable Starter: TBD (confirm before publish)
Key Betting Angles
Sweep-avoidance spots at home are one of the more reliable situational angles in baseball. A Blue Jays team that has dropped the first two would have real incentive to play its best game of the series here, and Rogers Centre crowds respond to it.

Our Prediction
Cole’s Pick: Toronto Blue Jays to win
We are backing Toronto to avoid the sweep at home. A motivated Blue Jays club in front of its own fans, against a Boston team that may already be looking ahead, is a live spot for the home side.
Confidence on Toronto Blue Jays: medium, Toronto to win Game 3.
