◆ Matchup preview

Toronto Blue Jays at Boston Red Sox (2026-07-26). Kevin Gausman vs Ranger Suarez at Fenway Park.

Starters — Gausman has a 4.51 ERA and 1.28 WHIP across 115.2 innings, with 9.1 K/9, 2.65 BB/9, and 1.17 HR/9. His last three starts were uneven: 3.1 innings and 4 earned runs with 1 strikeout and 2 walks, then 6 innings and 3 earned runs with 8 strikeouts and 3 walks, then 5.1 innings and 4 earned runs with 8 strikeouts and 5 walks. The trend is up, but the recent game log still shows volatility and some traffic. Suarez has a 3.15 ERA and 1.16 WHIP in 91.1 innings, with 9.56 K/9, 2.56 BB/9, and an excellent 0.49 HR/9. His last three starts were 2.2 innings and 3 earned runs with 5 strikeouts and no walks, then 6 innings and 3 earned runs with 8 strikeouts and 1 walk, then 6 innings and 1 earned run with 9 strikeouts and 1 walk. The trend is up, and the low home-run rate stands out.

Teams — Toronto enters with a .683 OPS, 415 runs scored, a .242 average, and a 4.13 team ERA with a 1.31 WHIP. The Blue Jays are 3-7 in their last 10, so the recent form has not matched a middling offensive profile. Boston has a .706 OPS, 432 runs scored, a .243 average, and a 3.59 team ERA with a 1.23 WHIP. The Red Sox are 8-2 in their last 10, and the combination of slightly better run production and stronger run prevention gives them the steadier team profile coming in.
