Boston Red Sox at Toronto Blue Jays (2026-08-11). Patrick Sandoval vs Dylan Cease at Rogers Centre.

Starters — Sandoval has a 3.38 ERA and 1.67 WHIP across 24 innings, with 9.38 K/9, 3.75 BB/9, and 1.13 HR/9. His last three starts were 5 innings, 2 earned runs, 5 strikeouts, 4 walks; 5 innings, 2 earned runs, 7 strikeouts, 2 walks; and 4.2 innings, 0 earned runs, 3 strikeouts, 2 walks. The run prevention has been solid lately, and the listed trend is up, but the WHIP and walk rate point to traffic on the bases. Cease has a 2.28 ERA and 1.04 WHIP in 126.1 innings, with 13.11 K/9, 3.7 BB/9, and 0.5 HR/9. His last three starts were 7 innings, 0 earned runs, 10 strikeouts, 1 walk; 6 innings, 1 earned run, 7 strikeouts, 3 walks; and 9 innings, 0 earned runs, 12 strikeouts, 3 walks. The strikeout profile is elite, the home-run suppression stands out, and his recent form has been dominant despite the listed trend being down.

Teams — Boston brings a .721 OPS, 524 runs, a .248 average, and strong pitching support with a 3.49 team ERA and 1.22 WHIP. The Red Sox are also 7-3 in their last 10, which supports the idea that they are arriving in good overall form. Toronto has a .679 OPS, 471 runs, and a .241 average, while its staff has a 3.99 ERA and 1.32 WHIP. The Blue Jays are 6-4 in their last 10, so the recent form is still positive, but the season-long offensive and pitching indicators trail Boston’s team profile.
