My Prediction
Boston Red Sox by 2Alrighty, let's dive right into this hot potato of a matchup, shall we? The Boston Red Sox are going toe-to-toe with the Toronto Blue Jays at the old Rogers Centre. Not exactly a paradise for batters, but hey, maybe the pitchers can finally get some peace.
For the Red Sox, we've got Tanner Houck taking the mound. His 7.89 ERA and 1.75 WHIP might make a few folks sweat, but in the world of sports, anything can happen. Meanwhile, the Blue Jays are banking on Jose Berrios, who's been a bit more stable with his 4.32 ERA and 1.44 WHIP.
The Red Sox showcase a solid lineup headlined by Alex Bregman, and his sizzling .343 batting average is sure to bring the heat. Rob Refsnyder and Trevor Story are not far behind either, boasting solid stats throughout. Over in the Blue Jays' corner, we've got Vladimir Guerrero Jr. who's swinging a .268 average but you can't discount Myles Straw who's racking up some nice figures too.
Now if we put on our historian caps and look back, we see in the recent past encounters the two teams have been playing ping-pong. The Jays did clutch a recent win, but it's far from a sweep. If we tie in the regular season records, it seems like the Sox have a slight edge with a 17-15 to the Jays' 14-16.
But at the end of the day, we're not talking about cookies and milk here, it's baseball and anything can happen.

Ack! I don’t have the full matchup data you need to make a weighted prediction. Baseball is a fickle sport. Final data comes in the morning of the game.
