Boston Red Sox at Toronto Blue Jays (2026-08-10). Sonny Gray vs Jameson Taillon at Rogers Centre.
Starters — Gray has a 2.78 ERA and 1.15 WHIP across 119.2 innings, with 7.97 K/9, 2.41 BB/9, and 0.90 HR/9. His last three starts were 6.0 IP, 0 ER, 8 K, 2 BB; 7.0 IP, 4 ER, 5 K, 2 BB; and 5.0 IP, 5 ER, 3 K, 0 BB. The recent trend is listed as down, although the most recent outing was a sharp rebound. Taillon has a 5.96 ERA and 1.39 WHIP in 80.0 innings, with 8.10 K/9, 3.26 BB/9, and a very high 2.93 HR/9. His last three starts were 4.0 IP, 3 ER, 4 K, 2 BB; 4.0 IP, 7 ER, 3 K, 2 BB; and 4.1 IP, 4 ER, 6 K, 2 BB. The trend is marked up, but the home run rate remains the biggest concern.
Teams — Boston brings a .722 OPS, 523 runs, and a .248 average, backed by a 3.50 team ERA and 1.22 WHIP. The Red Sox are also 8-2 over their last 10, which supports the idea that both the lineup and staff are contributing. Toronto enters with a .679 OPS, 469 runs, and a .242 average, while the pitching staff has a 4.02 ERA and 1.32 WHIP. The Blue Jays are 6-4 in their last 10, solid enough form, but their overall offensive production and run creation trail Boston’s marks.
