Red Sox's Strong Hitting Form Gives Them Advantage Against Toronto Blue Jays

Rodriguez's performance this season has shown inconsistency, particularly with a high home run rate in August that Boston's strong hitters are poised to exploit. The Red Sox have been displaying a strong batting form, especially in night games. Conversely, Toronto has struggled to find stability in their offensive game, averaging less than one home run per game in August. Considering these factors, Boston appears to have the upper hand in the upcoming game.
