Toronto will be hoping to end their losing streak as they take on the Red Sox. Teoscar Hernandez has been their homer-man with 12 hits out of the park to his name. Ken Giles is on the injury list and will be most likely sitting out of the series. Taijuan Walker will be the starting pitcher for the Blue Jays. The Red Sox have been completely out of sorts this season and have lost six of their last 10 games. According to Winners and Whiners, Infielder Xander Bogaerts leads Boston with eight homers and a team-leading 23 RBI this season. Outfielder Andrew Benintendi finds himself on the injury list.
Who will win?
With both sides looking to get some wins under their belt, Toronto still looks the better outfit as far as their recent records go, despite the end result. They have been good in patches and will look to make use of the absences of players in the Boston camp. At this stage, we'll go with the Blue Jays to draw first blood.
