Key Storylines
Pitching Matchup
Brayan Bello (11-8, 3.34 ERA) takes the mound for Boston in this contest. Bello has been a reliable presence in the Red Sox rotation. However, he faces a formidable opponent in Louis Varland (4-3, 3.10 ERA), who has performed well in his starts for Toronto. Both pitchers will try to get their teams off to good starts in this contest and help them to achieve what they want to achieve in the playoff race.
Key Players
- Boston Red Sox: Trevor Story had a big game for the Red Sox on Wednesday night with multiple hits. He has 25 home runs and 95 RBI on the year. His ability to drive in runs will be important early on as the Sox try to chase Varland from the game.
- Toronto Blue Jays: The Blue Jays need their entire lineup to step up right now. There were clear instances of frustration with their performance on display during last night’s game and Toronto needs to maintain its composure while executing better at the plate.
Recent Team Streaks
The Red Sox enter this game having won four of their last five, including a decisive 7-1 victory over the Blue Jays in the previous game. Toronto has struggled recently, losing six of their last seven games. That has allowed the New York Yankees to catch up in the AL East standings. Toronto and New York are tied in the standings with four games left to play.

Final Thoughts
Analytically, I make this a very tight game between two playoff-caliber teams. But looking at the momentum on each side, it is hard not to put my faith in the Red Sox tonight. Boston is playing much better baseball than the Jays right now, who are clearly struggling with the pressure of a tight division title race. I’ll take Boston to win this game and to potentially help the rival Yankees move ahead of the Jays in the standings going into the final weekend of the season.
