Jameson Taillon is the starting pitcher for them on Saturday while Luis Severino will be on the mound for them here on Sunday. He is 4-1 with a 2.80 ERA this season.

They scored 8 runs in their last series averaging just under 3 runs scored per game in that span and they allowed 4 runs against them averaging just over 1 run allowed per game.

 

The Blue Jays are coming into this game with a 37-27 record overall and they are 20-13. in their home games this season where they will be in this game. They have lost 3 of their last 4 games and are coming into this one on a 2 game losing streak. They just split their 4-game series against the Baltimore Orioles 2-2 and they are playing the series finale of a 3-game series with the Yankees on Sunday. This will be the 3rd game of the series on Sunday with the 2nd game still to be played on Saturday. Alek Manoah is the starting pitcher for them on Saturday while Yusei Kikuchi will be on the mound for them here on Sunday. He is 2-3 with a 4.80 ERA this season. His team lost 4 of their last 5 games this season with him as a starter. In his last start, he allowed 4 earned runs, 2 homers, and 4 BB with 4 strikeouts on 5 hits in 4 innings played against the Baltimore Orioles. They scored 25 runs in their last series averaging just over 6 runs scored per game in that span and they allowed 23 runs against them averaging just under 6 runs allowed per game.

 

The Yankees are coming into this game as a slight favorite with the current betting odds. The Yankees have been playing so well this season that they currently have the best record in the MLB and the race is not even close right now. They rarely lose games and they have been on so many win streaks that even when they lose they never really lose 2 straight. They are going up against a Blue Jays team that is very good but is getting a lot of respect from the bookmakers when they have not been playing that well recently. They just lost 2 very bad games, one against the Orioles and one against the Yankees where they scored less than 3 runs in each but allowed over 10 runs in each game as well. The Jays also have Kikuchi on the mound here and he has been an absolute gas can this season as he allows way too many runs in a lot of his starts and has been a consistent problem as a starter for the Jays this season. Severino is starting for the Yankees here but it does not even matter because with the way Kikuchi has been pitching this season coupled with the way the Yankees have been hitting recently, he is going to get blown up the mound here and the Yankees are going to score so many runs that they will even win this game on the runline as the Jays will be out of it early. The best bet here is on the Yankees this game.
