The Yankees are coming into this game with a 16-6 record overall and they are 6-3 in their road games this season where they will be in this game. They have won 11 of their last 12 games and are coming into this one on a 9 game winning streak. They just won their 3-game series against the Kansas City Royals 3-0 completing the sweep and they are playing the series opener of a 3-game series with the Jays on Monday night. This will be the 1st game of the series on Monday. Luis Severino was the starting pitcher for them on Sunday while Jordan Montgomery is on the mound for them here on Monday. He is 0-1 with a 2.70 ERA this season. His team lost 3 of their last 4 games this season with him as a starter. In his last start, he allowed 2 ER, 1 HR, and 0 BB with 4 Ks on 4 hits in 5.2 IP against the Baltimore Orioles. They scored 21 runs in their last series averaging 7 runs scored per game in that span and they allowed 6 runs against them averaging 2 runs allowed per game.

 

The Blue Jays are coming into this game with a 15-8 record overall and they are 9-4 in their home games this season where they will be in this game. They have won 3 of their last 4 games and are coming into this one on a 2 game winning streak. They just won their 3-game series against the Houston Astros 2-1 and they are playing the series opener of a 3-game series with the Yankees on Monday night. This will be the 1st game of the series on Monday. Kevin Gausman was the starting pitcher for them on Sunday while Ross Stripling will be on the mound for them here on Monday. He is 0-0 with a 3.60 ERA this season. His team won 2 of their last 3 games this season with him as a starter. In his last start, he allowed 1 ER, 0 HRs, and 0 BB with 7 Ks on 5 hits in 5 IP against the Boston Red Sox. They scored 12 runs in their last series averaging 4 runs scored per game in that span and they allowed 14 runs against them averaging just over 4 runs allowed per game.

 

The Yankees are coming into this game as a slight favorite with the current betting odds. They have been playing very well as they have won their last 9 games straight and they have been hitting the ball very well, sweeping their last 3 series straight. They are going up against a Blue jays team that has also been playing very well and has been a tough team to beat at home as well. The Blue Jays have not been winning as many games straight as the Yankees have been but they still have not lost a series this season. Both of these pitchers have been questionable this season though and this will likely be a game that has a lot of runs in it. The Blue Jays are much better when they have a starter go deep into the game though and that is not something that Ross Stripling will do here. With the way the Yankees have been hitting the ball recently, the best bet in this game is on the Yankees to win here.
