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 2nd game of a 3-game series with the Jays on Tuesday night. This will be the 2nd game of the series on Tuesday with the series opener still to be played on Monday. Jordan Montgomery is the starting pitcher for them on Monday while Jameson Taillon is on the mound for them here on Tuesday. He is 1-1 with a 3.26 ERA this season. His team won their last 3 straight games this season with him as a starter. In his last start, he allowed 2 ER, 0 HRs, and 1 BB with 4 Ks on 7 hits in 4.2 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 2nd game of a 3-game series with the Yankees on Tuesday night. This will be the 2nd game of the series on Tuesday with the series opener still to be played on Monday. Ross Stripling is the starting pitcher for them on Monday while Alek Manoah will be on the mound for them here on Tuesday. He is 4-0 with a 1.44 ERA this season. His team won all 4 games this season with him as a starter. In his last start, he allowed 0 ER, 0 HRs, and 1 BB with 7 Ks on 3 hits in 7 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 Blue Jays are coming into this game as a slight favorite with the current betting odds. They have been playing very well in their recent games and they have not lost a series this season yet, also playing very well at home this season. They have Manoah getting the start in this game and he has been pitching great all season but this great play stretches back to last season when he first came into the MLB. He has not had many bad starts in his career for the Blue Jays and he gives the Jays a big advantage with their pitching in this game. The Blue Jays have also been getting a lot of hits as well so they will find ways to score their runs on the Yankees here at home. The best bet here is on the Blue Jays to win this game.
