The Boston Red Sox are in a rough state: they’re 3-7 in their last ten games and have dropped out of first place, now 1.5 games behind the Tampa Bay Rays, with the New York Yankees inching closer.
Unfortunately, it’s not going to be an easy weekend to right the ship, as they head to Toronto for the first time since 2019 to face the white-hot Blue Jays for four games, including a doubleheader on Saturday.
