Tonight the division's top teams meet for the first time in a three-game series at Fenway Park.

Toronto is 12-5 this month and has benefited from playing 12 of 17 May games at home, but will get a test during a nine-game road trip.

They'll be facing a Red Sox club that's struggled to find consistency after an 11-game win streak. Boston is 9-10 since April 27.

The Red Sox have batted .308 while going 13-4 at Fenway, compared to .248 while posting a 9-12 mark on the road.

Tonight's scheduled starter Tim Wakefield has won both of his home starts this season with a 2.08 ERA.

Brian Tallet is expected to make his seventh start of the season for the +130 underdog Jays.
