Boston has upgraded the offense with the addition of Yoenis Cespedes, and he is smack in the middle of the lineup providing much needed outfield punch. They've won two in a row and seven of 12. Boston has scored 13 runs the last two games and has been cashing tickets as a dog often. Yoenis Cespedes has five hits and three RBIs in this series for the Red Sox and is batting .382 over his last 13 games. The Boston offense is patient, preferring to draw walks, and faces a knuckleballer in R.A. Dickey. The team is 2-4 his last six starts, and he's walked 14 the last 30+ innings. He is 5-9 on the road, and the team is 5-11 in Dickey's last 16 road starts. The Blue Jays are 4-10 on the road against a right-handed starter and face a talented young right arm in Rubby De La Rosa, who is 3-2 at home with a 3.16 ERA. The Red Sox are 47-20 at home against a team with a losing road record, and Toronto has dropped four of five games against Boston. Play the Red Sox.
