On the other end of the spectrum, Tommy Pham is 0-for-10.

While it’s a small sample size, the Blue Jays’ George Springer has gone 4-for-6 versus Bello.

Red Sox vs Blue Jays Betting Outlook

Vladimir Guerrero Jr., Raimel Tapia and Springer homered Friday night to lead the Blue Jays to an easy victory over the Red Sox. Springer’s was a three-run blast and Guerrero’s came with one runner on base.

The Blue Jays’ Whit Merrifield had three hits and Springer, Tapia and Bo Bichette added two each. Bichette finished September with 48 hits, breaking the Blue Jays’ record in a calendar month of 47 by Tony Fernandez in June 1986.

The Red Sox had three singles in getting shut out.

The Blue Jays have won 14 of 17 games against the Red Sox this season, including going 6-2 in Toronto. That is quite a reversal from the previous five seasons when the Red Sox dominated the series 54-31 from 2017-21.

Red Sox vs Blue Jays Prediction

Bello has pitched better than his won-loss record indicates and seems to be getting better every time out. The rookie is a good value play in this spot despite the Blue Jays’ domination of the Red Sox this year.

Pick: Red Sox ML (+122)
