The Boston Red Sox and the Toronto Blue Jays will play the rubber game of their 3-game set this afternoon at Fenway. The Red Sox have been on a roll, winning 16 of their last 18 games, and are expected to get southpaw Ranger Suárez back in the rotation. Two-time All-Star Suárez is 4-3 with a 3.15 ERA, a 1.16 WHIP, and has dominated the Jays in his career with a perfect 2-0 record and a ridiculous ERA of 0.00. Toronto is expected to give the nod to Kevin Gausman and he has struggled. Gausman is 4-9 with a 4.51 ERA, a 1.27 WHIP, and Toronto is 0-7 in his last 7 starts. The Jays have just 2 wins in their last 7 tries and have major issues. How do you go from almost winning the World Series the year prior to the bottom feeders in the AL East? I’ll tell you how. Last year they had Don Mattingly on the bench and this year they don’t. Changes need to be made, and it starts with management.
