The Toronto Blue Jays are currently 65-55 and are the third seed in the AL East. Over their last 10 games, they are 5-5. They are coming off a series against the New York Yankees where they won three of the four games they played. In this game against the Red Sox, the Blue Jays will have Ross Stripling take the mound for them. On the season, Stripling is 5-3 with an ERA of 2.93 and a WHIP of 1.03. The last time the Blue Jays played a series against the Red Sox on the road, they destroyed them having scored 40 runs in three games. In this game, expect Vladimir Guerrero Jr. to be one of the main reasons the Blue Jays find success as he has been one of the best hitters for them throughout this season. Along with Guerrero Jr., Alejandro Kirk is currently leading the team in batting average with an average of .300. The Blue Jays seem to be the Red Sox kryptonite and will continue to be a problem for them in this game.

The Boston Red Sox are currently 60-62 and are in last place in the AL East. Over their last 10 games, they are 6-4. They are coming off a series against the Baltimore Orioles where they lost two out of the three games they played. In this game against the Blue Jays, pitcher Josh Winckowski will take the mound for the Red Sox. On the season, Winckowski is 5-6 with an ERA of 5.19 and a WHIP of 1.50. The Red Sox have had a terrible time playing against the Blue Jays this season as they have only won three games out of the 13 times they have matched up. They will need all their players to step up and for Winckowski to limit the number of runs he allows in this game if they want to win.

I think the Blue Jays will win this game as they have done multiple times in the past. In this game, they have the better pitcher and this will help them keep the Red Sox struggling to score points. If the Red Sox want a chance at winning, they need to score early on in the game and hope to control the number of hits the Blue Jays record as Toronto loves to hit and score runs against them. The Red Sox need to defend their home field and make the season series more competitive as there are only 6 games left in this series.
