It will be a division battle to start off the week between the Red Sox and Blue Jays.
Boy, Boston has put themselves into a great position for the postseason.
In fact, very few teams have better odds to come out of the AL right now, Tom, than the
Boston Red Sox.
This week, they will face off with Toronto.
Sonny Gray will pitch, of course, on Monday.
The Blue Jays will have to find another starter to pitch, putting Trae Savage on the injured
list.
Suarez, Tole, Jake Bennett, I mean, Dylan Cease will pitch against Boston, and I suppose
they'll be favored in that game, but every other game, Boston's going to be favored this
week.
This is just a good spot for the Red Sox to just continue to stack up wins.
They're looking at a wild card lead of five, six, seven games.
It's fluctuating on a day-in and day-out basis, but they're going to be favorites in all these
games except the Dylan Cease one, to your point, and it's just a chance to stack up
some wins and provide that much more insulation to the team behind them, or potentially try
and chase down the Yankees for a higher wild card spot.
Very straightforward series to start the week for the Sox.
