The Blue Jays are coming into this game with a 2-1 record overall and they will be playing their first road game of the season in this game. They have won 2 of their last 3 games and are coming into this one off of a loss in their last game. They just won their 3-game series against the Texas Rangers 2-1 and they are starting a 4-game series with the Yankees in this game on Monday night. Hyun-Jin Ryu was the starting pitcher for them on Sunday so Alek Manoah will be on the mound for them here on Monday. Last season, he was 9-2 with a 3.22 ERA as a rookie pitcher. His team has won their last 8 games straight and 11 of their last 12 with him as the starter. In his last start, he allowed 1 ER, 0 being a HR, and 1 BB with 10 Ks on 1 hit through 7 IP against the Baltimore Orioles. They scored 20 runs in their last series averaging just under 7 runs scored per game in that span and they allowed 23 runs against them averaging just under 8 runs allowed per game.

 

The Yankees are coming into this game with a 2-1 record overall and they are 2-1 in their home games this season where they will be in this game. They have won 2 of their last 3 games but are coming into this one off of a loss in their game which snapped a 2 game winning streak that they were on. They just won their 3-game series against the Boston Red Sox 2-1 and they are starting a 4-game series with the Blue Jays in this game on Monday night. Jordan Montgomery was the starter for them on Sunday so Jameson Taillon will be throwing the first pitch for them here on Monday. Last season, he was 8-6 with a 4.30 ERA. His team has won their last 2 games straight and 10 of their last 12 with him as the starter. In his last start, he allowed 0 earned runs, 0 homers, and 1 BB with 2 strikeouts on 2 hits through 3.1 innings played against the Tampa Bay Rays. They scored 13 runs in their last series averaging just over 4 runs scored per game in that span and they allowed 11 runs against them averaging just under 4 runs allowed per game.

 

The Blue Jays are coming into this game as a slight underdog with the current betting odds. The Jays have won 2 of their first 3 games to start the season but they are coming off of a loss in their last game which they blew a 6-1 lead in and ended up losing that game 12-6. They have not been great with their pitching in their opening series as they have been allowing a lot of runs and they even had to come back from a 7-0 deficit in their season opener to win that one 10-8. They are going up against a Yankees side that has also been playing well winning 2 of their last 3 and they are coming off of a loss in their last game. All of those games were very close and the Yankees were trailing to start the game in all of those but their pitching was a lot better and they did not allow a lot of runs as the game went on. The Yankees have also been hitting well and are at home here, with the way the Blue Jays have been pitching recently they might fall into some trouble here. The Yankees are going to be angry from that loss and will be trying to get it back here which they will be able to do. Both are good teams but the Yankees have a slight advantage with their pitching, they will win this game at home.
