Yes, physiological pH lies within a range of 7.3-7.5 and blood specifically is buffered using the phosphate and carbonate system buffers to maintain this pH. Bleach, with an active ingredient of sodium hypochlorite, is much more basic than blood, probably within the range of 12-13. If our blood were that basic, we would die.

Blood is about pH 7.5 (see Andromeda Strain).
Sodium hypochlorite, the active ingredient in bleach is the sodium salt of a weak acid, so it probably has a higher pH (is more basic).

The pH of blood varies from 7.35 - 7.45 (slightly basic). Bleach is considerably more basic and has a pH of 11.0 - 12.5.

Bleach, by far. Blood is pH 7.4, only slighly basic. Bleach is about 12.6.
