Blue Jays vs Red Sox (07.25 08:15, Fenway Park)

Starters: Blue Jays Trey Yesavage / Red Sox Patrick Sandoval

By record, the Red Sox sit fifth in the AL at .520, ahead of the twelfth-place Blue Jays at .460, though the recent form tilts slightly toward Toronto, which has won its last game while Boston is riding a one-game skid. The bigger story is the season series, though - the Blue Jays have dominated this matchup 5-1, a sharp contrast to where the two teams sit in the standings.

Today's starters are Patrick Sandoval for Boston and Trey Yesavage for Toronto. Sandoval's velocity has been steady at 93.9-94.1 mph over his last two outings, albeit a small sample, while Yesavage has trended up nicely from 93.3 to 95.2. Sandoval's season ERA sits at a rough 4.82, but that's over just 9.1 innings, so it's too small a sample to read much into yet; Yesavage is at 3.78. Over the last five starts, Sandoval's FIP comes out to a tidy 3.00, though again that's built on the same 9.1-inning sample, while Yesavage's sits a touch higher than his season number at 4.65.

What stands out is that Yesavage has already faced Boston twice this year and won both times - 7.1 innings and three earned runs on June 19, then 5.1 scoreless innings on April 29. The Red Sox lineup's track record against him backs that up, with most of today's hitters showing very little success against him in the past. That said, both lineups are still carrying over from the last game rather than a confirmed card for today, so some of this could change before first pitch.

Offensively, Boston has stayed roughly flat, .254 for the season versus .247 over the last five games, while Toronto has cooled noticeably, dropping from .242 to .195 over the same stretch.

The bullpen edge clearly belongs to Boston. Both pens have logged similar recent workloads (15.0 innings for Boston, 15.1 for Toronto), but Boston's has been outstanding at a 0.97 ERA compared to Toronto's shakier 4.50.

Add it up and Boston has the better standing and the sharper bullpen, plus Toronto's bats have gone cold recently - but the lopsided season series and Yesavage's history of shutting down this exact Red Sox lineup give the Blue Jays a real case here too.
