Toronto at Boston

The Toronto Blue Jays have their ace on the mound in Roy Halladay as they face the Red Sox in Boston. Halladay is on his way to the Hall of Fame five years after he retires, but it won't be because of what he has done vs the Red Sox. The Red Sox have solved his serves, have a winning record against him lifetime, and his ERA is a full run higher than his career average vs the Sox. The numbers are even worse at Fenway where the Jays are just 3-6 in his last nine starts here. That leaves a very favorable position on Boston as a solid live dog here. Tim Wakefield has had success against the Jays to the tune of a 17-12 lifetime mark and he has matched up with Roy Halladay five times where the Red Sox have won four of the five games. Halladay creates a lot of respect from the oddsmakers, but he is in the wrong spot here. I'm going with Boston in this one.
