Players to Watch: Toronto Blue Jays vs. Boston Red Sox
Toronto Blue Jays
Kazuma Okamoto — 3B. Okamoto provides the bulk of Toronto’s right-handed power from third base, sitting on 15 home runs and 42 RBIs. His .230 average runs below the team mark, but the slugging output keeps him in the heart of the order as a run producer.
Ernie Clement — 2B. Clement leads the Blue Jays’ regular contributors with a .295 average out of the second-base spot. His .446 slugging percentage shows he does more than slap singles, driving the ball into the gaps to set the table ahead of the power bats.
Boston Red Sox
Willson Contreras — 1B. Contreras is a key piece of the Boston lineup, hitting .294 with 16 home runs and 43 RBIs from first base. His .389 on-base percentage and .551 slugging mark give him a strong combined line that no other regular in the order matches.
Wilyer Abreu — RF. Abreu supplies left-handed pop from right field with 8 home runs and 34 RBIs on the year. A .278 average paired with a .432 slugging percentage makes him one of Boston’s more dependable extra-base threats behind Contreras.
Ceddanne Rafaela — CF. Rafaela brings contact and athleticism to center field, hitting .286 with a .340 on-base percentage. He has chipped in 7 home runs and 32 RBIs while handling premium defensive ground, rounding out a Boston group built more on balance than raw power.
