The Toronto Blue Jays look to put an end to a six-game losing streak tonight.

The pregame narrative: The Blue Jays head to Fenway Park to take on the Boston Red Sox, who just swept them in Toronto last week. With Tanner Houck pitching quite well, I expect Boston to outhit its AL East rivals.

Check out the best Blue Jays bet vs. the Red Sox for June 24.

Best bet: Boston to have the most hits (-118)

Toronto's offence has been in the gutter all season long and tonight doesn't seem like an opportunity for the team to "get right."

The Jays rank 18th in wrC+ (94), 23rd in batting average (.232), and 27th in runs per game (3.84). Vladimir Guerrero Jr. has done well to turn a disappointing start to the season around but Bo Bichette has been brutal and is now injured, while George Springer looks utterly lost at the plate.

The latter's .567 OPS is the worst among all qualified hitters and he was somehow batting cleanup the other night.

Houck brings a 2.14 ERA and 0.97 WHIP into tonight's contest. Those marks rank second and 11th, respectively, in MLB. The righty is a contact pitcher but I don't trust Toronto's lineup to make good contact.

The Jays did get six knocks against Houck last week but were ultimately out-hit 12-to-7 in that game.

As for Toronto, it seems like Chris Bassitt is in line for the start but that hasn't been confirmed as of 1:30 p.m. ET. He's in good form but his road splits are concerning (3.97 ERA, .270 opponent batting average).

And then there is the Jays bullpen which ranks 24th in ERA. That group can't be trusted late into a ballgame, especially against a Red Sox team which is clicking at the plate.

Key stat: Boston has the best team batting average (.281) and fifth-best wRC+ (127) this month.
