Red Sox (64-80) at Blue Jays (65-77) 9/14-9/16

The Blue Jays and Red Sox will meet for the sixth and final series this weekend. The Blue jays already have the season series won with a 10-5 lead.

Series one: The Red sox got their first win of the season in the first game with a ninth inning rally,  but the Jays took the next two.

Series two: The Sox slugged to two wins in the first two games, but Daniel Bards awful performance helped the Jays salvage the final game.

Series three; The Jays took game one despite two home runs from Ortiz, but the Sox took the next two thanks to a game tying homer in the seventh of game two from Saltalamachhia, and a six run first inning in game three.

Series four: The Jays swept the Sox at Fenway, concluding with a 15-7 win in game three, which was Jon Lesters worst performance of his career, and the game that, at least for me, officially ended the Red Sox hopes for the playoffs.

Series five: The Blue Jays again swept at Fenway, finishing with a ninth inning last at bat win in game three.

Now for this series

Game one: Daisuke Matsuzaka (1-5, 7.20 ERA) Vs Aaron Laffey (3-5, 4.43 ERA) 7:07 PM Apparently this will be Daisukes last start of the season, which likely makes it his last start of his Red Sox career, as he will be a free agent. Its hard to imagine him getting a good contract though.

Game two: Clay Buchholz (11-6, 4.46 ERA) Vs Carlos Villanueva (7-5, 3.48 ERA) 1:07 PM

Game three: Jon Lester (9-11 4.99 ERA) Vs Brandon Morrow (8-6, 3.16 ERA)
