This is an 8* play on the Boston Red Sox.

The Red Sox are coming off a three game sweep in the Bronx, but they look to get back on track with their ace on the mound at home versus Toronto tonight. While this game is huge for Toronto, it's equally important for the Red Sox as Porcello is going for his league leading 23rd win, which could make the difference in his bid for the Cy Young Award.

Porcello (22-4, 3.11 ERA) allowed three runs on eight hits, striking out nine over 6 1/3 innings in a win at Tampa his last time out. He's 3-0 with a 4.50 era in four starts versus the Jays, and 13-1 with a 2.88 ERA at home this season.

The Jays hand the ball to Marco Estrada, who has struggled in the second half. He's just 4-6 with a 4.46 ERA since the All Star break, and he was roughed up by the Red Sox earlier this month. Estrada gave up four runs on six hits and three walks in just 2 1/3 innings in a 13-3 loss versus Boston on September 9.

Boston is the highest scoring team in the majors this season, while Toronto ranks 20th overall in runs scored since the All Star break.

Take BOS.
