The Toronto Blue Jays and the Boston Red Sox have already seen plenty of each other this season, this being the 11th meeting on the year. The Jays took two of three at Toronto last week to even the season-series at 5-5 but I think the Red Sox will take down the opener of a three-game set Friday night.

Here are my keys to the game:

1. Pitching - The Red Sox hand the ball to left-hander David Price (7-1, 5.11) who is 17-2 with a 2.43 ERA in his career against Toronto. He held the Jays to a pair of runs on five hits in 6 1/3 innings of a 5-3 win on May 29, not factoring in the decision. The Jays counter with R.A. Dickey who tossed opposite Price in that contest, surrendering three runs on three hits and four walks in 5 1/3 frames. Dickey is 0-2 with a 6.60 ERA with 10 walks over three meetings with Boston this season and several Red Sox batters have good numbers over a large sample against the knuckleballer.

2. Home Cookin' - Boston has won 13 of its last 16 games home at Fenway Park where they've averaged 6.00 runs per game this season. David Price is 4-0 in six starts in front of the home town crowd.

3. X-Factor - David Ortiz is batting .439 with 17 RBIs over a 10-game hitting streak.

Selection: This is a play on the Boston Red Sox (8*)
