MLB MLB bettors, but I’m banking on Halladay being able to crank up his best stuff tonight and end Toronto’s extended losing streak.
While the Red Sox have been playing excellent baseball as of late, the Blue Jays are more than due for a victory and should get it tonight with Halladay on the mound.
Take the Blue Jays to win outright.
