The Red Sox delivered a 10-5 beatdown of the Blue Jays on Wednesday, Toronto's fifth straight setback home at Rogers Centre and the second straight in this series Boston scored in double digits (won Game 1 of the series 10-7). The red hot Red Sox have now won six in a row and nine of their last 10. I expect the Red Sox to pick up an easy victory here Thursday night with righty Rick Porcello on the mound.

Porcello (14-4, 3.84 ERA) fanned nine through nine innings of one-run ball against the Yankees his last time out. He's 8-1 behind a 3.14 ERA in 12 starts on the road this season and Red Sox are 7-1 in Porcello's last 8 starts.

Toronto counters with rookie left-hander Ryan Borucki (1-2, 2.30) who has pitched pretty well through his first seven starts in big leagues. The lone exception was back on July 13 when he surrendered seven runs (four earned) on eight hits and four walks in three innings against ... this very Red Sox team.

Red Sox are 5-1 in their last 6 games vs. a left-handed starter and 5-1 in their last 6 Thursday games. Blue Jays are 3-11 in their last 14 Thursday games and 1-4 in their last 5 games vs. a right-handed starter.

8* MONEYLINE MASSACRE: Boston Red Sox.
