Josh Beckett will try to help the Boston Red Sox avoid a ninth loss in 10 road games when they open a three-game series with the Toronto Blue Jays today.

The Red Sox have lost every road series since the All-Star break except for a three-game sweep of last-place Baltimore.

The club will feel good about its odds of rebounding with Beckett on the mound. The AL wins leader has strengthened his Cy Young Award resume with a 4-1 record and a 1.80 ERA in his last six starts.

Beckett went 0-2 with a 16.71 ERA in two starts against Toronto in 2008, and he’s 1-2 with a 6.85 ERA in four career starts at Rogers Centre.

The Blue Jays return home after a 2-4 road trip, and they’ll give the ball to Ricky Romero.

The Red Sox are listed as -160 road favorites in this one.
