Red Sox's Recent Form


The Red Sox have been riding a wave of momentum lately, with their recent performances showcasing both resilience and skill. In their last three games against the Seattle Mariners from April 21-23, BOS demonstrated a balanced approach with both offense and defense playing pivotal roles. On April 21, they secured a solid victory with a score of 4-2, thanks in part to an impressive pitching performance that limited SEA's batting average to .156. This was followed by another win on April 22 where BOS outscored SEA by five runs.


However, it wasn't all smooth sailing for BOS as they faced some challenges on April 23 when they lost narrowly despite scoring five runs. Their pitching struggled slightly in this game with an earned run average of six and allowing thirteen hits. Yet, even in defeat, there were positives such as Rafael Devers' consistent hitting which will be crucial against TOR.

Blue Jays' Challenge


On the other side of the diamond stands TOR who will look to capitalize on home advantage at Rogers Centre. The Blue Jays have shown flashes of brilliance this season but have also been inconsistent at times. Their ability to exploit any weaknesses in BOS’s lineup could be key if they are to emerge victorious.


TOR’s offensive lineup boasts power hitters like Vladimir Guerrero Jr., who can change the course of a game single-handedly if given room by opposing pitchers. However, recent encounters suggest that while TOR has potential firepower upfront; maintaining consistency throughout nine innings remains an area needing improvement.
