Last time

The Red Sox were swept by the Jays last weekend for the second straight series. It sucked just as much as it did last time.

This time

Laser Show: Dustin Pedroia

He is expected to rejoin the team this weekend. Pedey has been the most consistent batter in the lineup for that past couple of weeks and I fully expect him to pick it up in Toronto.

Pitch Around: Edwin Encarnacion

Edwin now has 40 home runs and 102 RBI, and he is not close to finished. He has been a monster this season and like everyone else, Encarnacion will add to his home run totals against the Sox.

Don't Fall Behind: Anyone

All the Sox have to play for is pride. If they want to aviod getting swept, their offense needs to put up a little bit of a fight. They have been making every pitcher look better. 

How we see it goin' down

This series means absolutely nothing. Neither team can play spoiler and both teams want the season to be over. I think the Red Sox avoid another sweep and win at least 1.
