Boston Red Sox at Toronto Blue Jays
Boston moved its record to 9-2 against the Blue Jays in capturing a 7-5 victory on Tuesday night at the Rogers Centre. “You know what? Tonight was like our whole season,” manager Terry Francona said. “It wasn’t perfect. But we kept playing.” The Red Sox have won eight of their last 12 road contests and have a 23-16 record away from Fenway Park since May 22. The club sits five games in the divisional race and just 4.5 back in the Wild Card. Boston is 6-1 on artificial turf this season, managing to average 6.5 runs and hit for a combined .291 average in those contests. The team is a fantastic 7-1 on the road with a money line of -100 to -125 this season (+590), but falls off to a 26-32 mark in this situation the last three years (-1,020). The Red Sox evened up their record against divisional opponents (23-23, -400) and the total in those games is 25-18 O/U.

Boston failed to pick up any ground on the first place Yankees, splitting a four-game series in the Bronx, as the team sits six games back in the divisional race. “We’re leaving here with a good taste in our mouths,” reliever Daniel Bard said. “We didn’t move up, but to stay where you’re at is kind of an accomplishment.” The Red Sox have won seven of their last 11 road games and are 22-16 away from Fenway Park since May 22. The bullpen has been a major strength over the last 13 games, posting a 1.32 ERA and holding opponents to a .144 average. The club has posted a solid 8-4 record this year on artificial turf (+480), but is still a dismal 26-34 over the last three seasons (-880). Boston has also compiled a winning 20-16 mark against left-handed starters this season (+110), averaging 5.5 runs per game and hitting for a combined .271 average.

The Rays fell 17-11 in Saturday’s defeat, but manager Joe Maddon found some positive things to take away from the loss. “I really love the way we stayed with it all the way through,” he said. “I really appreciated our guys’ effort today.” Despite dropping the first two games of this series, the club still has 33-20 record on the road (+960), which is the best mark in baseball. Tampa is also a solid 21-12 during the day (+600) and the total is 14-18 O/U in those contests. The Rays are 6-5 on the season against the Blue Jays and 2-3 at the Rogers Centre.

Boston Red Sox at Toronto Blue Jays

At 50-36, the club is tied for the fourth-best record in baseball, behind only the Yankees, Rays and Braves. The Red Sox hope to improve upon their 7-12 daytime record this year (-870), as the team is 7-3 on artificial turf (+480).
