For instance, every night game the Red Sox play in the US starts at 7:05pm (or the equivalent if in a different time zone). But every time they travel to Toronto to play the Blue Jays, the games start at 7:07pm. Why?????

It's the exchange rate.
Seriously, two national anthems.
Home team gets the option. I believe the White Sox start their games at 7:11 after the convenience store chain ponied up some sponsorship cash.

The Red Sox do not always start at 7:05 for games in the US. When they are in Tampa, it is 7:15. I have seen first pitch anywhere from 7:05 to 7:09. It is up to the home team to make the time for the first pitch.

maybe because whenever there is a game in Toronto they have to play two national anthems whereas in the states unless the Blue Jays are the visiting team they play only one.

I think it's because they have to play 2 national anthems

It's because of that metric thing they do.
No. It's because of the ceremonial anthems.
