Blue Jays (Okha) at Red Sox (Wakefield) -1.5 runs (Even): The Boston Red Sox (12-5) have won five straight games and will take on a team that has lost five straight tonight as they play the struggling Toronto Blue Jays (8-10) at Fenway Park. Red Sox starter Tim Wakefield (2-1, 1.35) is in the midst of a career renaissance, as he's given up only 12 hits in 20 innings of work so far. The knuckleballer slammed the door on the Blue Jays last Wednesday, limiting them to four hits and one run through seven innings. Meanwhile, the Toronto offense is struggling mightily without starting third baseman Troy Glaus, who is sidelined on the DL with a heel injury. The Blue Jays starter for tonight, Tomo Okha (0-2, 7.02) is far-and-away the worst pitcher in the Toronto rotation. He's served up 18 hits, including 6 HR, in a mere 16.2 innings of work. Tonight, he has an epic challenge on his hands as he faces a Boston offense that hit four homers in a row last night against Chase Wright of the New York Yankees. One of those hitters last night was Mike Lowell, who has 3 career HR against Ohka.
