00:00This divisional duel starts today. The Rays, like the Jays, five games above .500, .35 and .30.

00:06How does the week begin inside Fenway Park?

00:10The only thing that's going to cool down the Red Sox bats right now seems to be the temperatures at Fenway tonight,

00:14starting this game at 58 degrees. We like to see that in the high 70s, low 80s, and the way you start to get cranky.

00:19It was muggy in the Philadelphia, New York area yesterday and this weekend,

00:23and you saw a lot of those balls flying out of Yankee Stadium into the seats.

00:26But let's focus on this, though. Shane Boz is on the mound. Decent pitcher overall.

00:30Last 30 days, you might say, all right, we'll take a look at this five ERA, but a much better exit number of 3.87.

00:36But if you look at the last 116 batters that he's faced over the past month,

00:40how about an ISO against of .292 and a weighted on base percentage of .389, a low K rate here.

00:45Guys that are ripping the cover off the ball against right into pitching.

00:47How about Jaron Duran to start this game off at a .213 ISO and a .388 weighted on base percentage.

00:52Raphael Devers, who only got one hit yesterday, you say, yeah, but it was an upper deck.

00:56Shot in the ninth inning, a .353 ISO and a .447 weighted on base percentage.

01:01Also, Toro, .298 ISO, .445 weighted on base percentage.

01:05That's the way I would look.

01:06The RBI props from the Boston Red Sox in that lineup specifically in the first top five batters,

01:11that's where I'm going.

01:12So hopefully those cooler temperatures, Ben, don't ruin a game where a couple of these guys

01:16got some pretty good numbers heading in.

01:17So if I left the guy.

01:19I can hold on green temperature chances.

01:22�� dropped off the ball to Arana.

01:24Let's go.

01:26I'm like, I need the brining of the field.

01:29For sure, Erik Khors Julie.

01:30Can't box two?

01:32I want you to get a little

01:33bounce there.

01:34We are getting ready to see the ground.

01:36By going up.

01:37I can يJust be there for snow.

01:38But I just want to get a little attempt on Georgien Zur counselor.

01:40I want to lay out the air conditioning,

01:41but whether we're going up to SolgeO дисpo,

01:43and it's going to be interesting,
