The Matchup
Last time
The Red Sox go their first win of the season in Toronto to open the series following the dismal Tigers series to open the season. Pedey went deep off of Alvarez and Ortiz went 2-for-3 in the game 1 victory. Then, the bats got cold or colder, as the Sox fell to the Jays 7-3, and 3-1 in games 2 and 3 respectively.
This time
Laser Show: David Ortiz
Don't Fall Behind: Henderson Alvarez
Alvarez pitched well against the Sox in their first meeting of the season, with his only fault being the Pedroia home run. He is Toronto's best starter in the series and he has great potential to shut down a good Sox offense.
How we see it goin' down
The Sox were rolling in the Tigers series before the speed bump of game 4. I don't expect the Sox to slow down and they will be looking for revenge against the blue birds. The Red Sox will come out swinging and get out of last place with a series sweep of the Jays.
