What happened: Toronto visits Boston for Friday Night Baseball on Apple TV, with first pitch scheduled for 7 p.m. ET. The Blue Jays enter at 43-56 on a one-game winning streak, while the Red Sox are 47-46 and just snapped a four-game winning run with a loss.

Why it matters: Boston is favored with the total set at 8.5 runs. The matchup lands as Toronto's shift toward selling at the deadline has stirred separate trade talk involving Kevin Gausman, while the Red Sox have been floated as buyers pursuing Angels shortstop Zach Neto.

By the numbers: Toronto swept the last three meetings in Boston on June 16-18, outscoring the Red Sox 13-4 in that series. The Blue Jays average 3.9 runs and allow 4.7 per game this season; the Red Sox average 4.1 and allow 3.9.

What to watch: First pitch is set for 7 p.m. ET on Apple TV.
