The Toronto Blue Jays will close out a three-game series against the Boston Red Sox at Fenway Park. Boston has won four last five games and moved to 60-63 after beating the Blue Jays in the series opener. The Blue Jays are still in contention for a playoff spot, they trail the Yankees by 8.5 games in the AL East but are currently in the second wild-card spot at 65-55 on the year.
Toronto is one of the league's better offenses, scoring 4.74 runs per game, ranking sixth in the MLB in scoring offense. First baseman Vlad Guerrero Jr. has anchored the lineup, leading the team with 26 home runs and 75 RBIs while hitting .283 this season.

Gausman is coming off maybe his best start of the year, he pitched 7 scoreless allowing four hits and striking out seven against the Yankees, who are one of the best in baseball.
