Toronto Blue Jays (34-38) at Boston Red Sox (29-40) — Game Preview
The Toronto Blue Jays bring a 34-38 record into Fenway Park to face the 29-40 Boston Red Sox, two clubs separated by five games in the standings but both chasing better days. Toronto leans on Ernie Clement, who is hitting .304 with a .460 slugging percentage out of the second base spot and gives the lineup a steady contact presence near the top. Kazuma Okamoto supplies the power from third base with 15 home runs and 42 RBIs, the kind of middle-of-the-order production Boston will have to pitch around.
On the home side, Willson Contreras has been the engine of the offense, batting .304 with 16 home runs and 43 RBIs while posting a .396 on-base percentage. His .570 slugging percentage tops every qualified bat in this matchup and makes him the most dangerous hitter the Blue Jays will see all night. The two clubs meet again today with both sides looking to climb out of the bottom half of the division.

Players to Watch: Toronto Blue Jays vs. Boston Red Sox
Toronto Blue Jays
Ernie Clement — 2B. Clement is hitting .304 and works as the contact bat in Toronto’s lineup, pairing that average with a .460 slugging percentage that adds some pop from the middle infield. His .324 on-base percentage keeps the line moving in front of the heart of the order.
Kazuma Okamoto — 3B. Okamoto carries the power for Toronto with 15 home runs and 42 RBIs while hitting .235, the profile of a corner bat who does his damage in bunches. He is the run producer the Red Sox will need to keep off the bases with traffic in front of him.
Boston Red Sox
Willson Contreras — 1B. Contreras anchors the Boston lineup with a .304 average, 16 home runs and 43 RBIs, the rare bat that delivers both average and slug. His .396 on-base percentage and .570 slugging percentage make him the most complete hitter in tonight’s matchup and the one Toronto cannot afford to let beat them.
