TOP AL TOTAL: +$15,000 MLB RUN!
(MLB) Boston vs. Toronto, 06/29/2022 7:07 PM, Score: 6 - 5
Total: 8.50 | -111.00 Under
Result: Loss
This is an 8* AL TOP TOTAL on the UNDER Red Sox/Jays.

After yesterday's high-scoring slug-fest, in which the Jays scored two runs in the bottom of the ninth to earn the 6-5 victory, I'm expecting much more of a "duel" here between these divisional foes.

Boston hands the ball to Nick Pivetta (8-5, 3.25 ERA), while the home side counters with Alek Manoah (9-2, 2.01.)

Manoah is 2-0 with a 1.50 ERA in three career starts vs. the Jays. Pivetta hasn't fared as well vs. the Jays in his career, but he comes in on top form and I expect him to carry that momentum over here.

Finally note that Boston has seen the total go UNDER the number in eight of its last 11 in trying to avenge two or more straight losses against an opponent.

Look for these two competent starting pitchers to garner most of the headlines in tomorrow's summaries.

The play is the UNDER.

Good luck, NP
