📬 Final Thoughts

The Red Sox come in as heavy favorites after dropping the opener, but with a fresh face on the mound in Garrett Crochet. Toronto’s Easton Lucas is off to a solid start and will look to continue keeping hitters off-balance. Both teams enter this one at 6-5 on the season, but approach the game with very different profiles — Boston with firepower, Toronto with discipline and unders.

With a total sitting at 8, and both pitchers still proving their MLB staying power, tonight’s matchup could come down to bullpen depth and situational hitting.
