The Boston Red Sox's lead over the Yankees in at the top of the AL East has been cut to just 2 1/2 games after four consecutive losses. They need to end the slide ASAP, and I think the Red Sox will come through with a win tonight at a great price.

Drew Pomeranz (13-4, 3.18 ERA) takes the ball for Boston. The Red Sox have won each of his last four starts and eight of his last 10. He's held seven of those opponents to two runs or fewer and has tossed 8 2/3 scoreless innings of six-hit ball through his last two starts. Pomeranz is 2-0 while allowing just one earned run in 12 2/3 innings of work in two starts against Toronto on the season.

Marcus Stroman (11-6, 3.17 ERA) will take the ball for the Blue Jays. He is 0-1 with a 4.76 ERA in two starts against Boston on the season and he was tagged with five runs on eight hits with three homers in 5 1/3 innings at Tampa Bay his last time out. The current Red Sox roster is batting a combined .303 over 165 at bats against the right-hander.

The Red Sox are 6-2 in the last eight meetings.

My selection is a 10* play on Boston Red Sox ML.
