The Blue Jays are coming into this game with a 3-1 record overall and they are 1-0 in their road 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 off of a win in their last game. They just won their 3-game series against the Texas Rangers 2-1 and they are playing the 3rd game of a 4-game series with the Yankees on Wednesday night. This will be the 3rd game of the series on Wednesday night with the 2nd game still to be played on Tuesday night. Yusei Kikuchi is the starting pitcher for them on Tuesday while José Berríos will be on the mound for them here on Wednesday. He is 0-0 with a 108.00 ERA this season. His team won the last game with him as the starter. In his last start, he allowed 4 ER, 1 HR, and 2 BB with 0 Ks on 3 hits through 0.1 IP against the Texas Rangers. 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 2-2 record overall and they are 2-2 in their home games this season where they will be in this game. They are coming into this game on a 2 game losing streak. They just won their 3-game series against the Boston Red Sox 2-1 and they are playing the 3rd game of a 4-game series with the Blue Jays on Wednesday night. This will be the 3rd game of the series on Wednesday night with the 2nd game still to be played on Tuesday night. Nestor Cortes is the starter for them on Tuesday while Gerrit Cole will be throwing the first pitch for them here on Wednesday. He is 0-0 with a 6.75 ERA. His team won the last game with him as the starter. In his last start, he allowed 3 earned runs, 1 homer, and 1 BB with 3 strikeouts on 4 hits through 4 innings played against the Boston Red Sox. 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 have had a great start to the season here, their lineup was highly anticipated to be one of the better lineups in the AL East and so far they have been showing it with the runs they have been scoring. Their pitching has not been great but they are going up against a Yankees team that shares in that same issue. Gerrit Cole is starting for the Yankees here and he did not pitch great in his first start but it was enough to get the job done and he did not put his team in a massive hole in that game either. The Blue Jays have Jose Berrios on the mound here and he had an awful start in his first game this season. He did not even make it out of the 1st inning with only 1 out and 4 runs allowed. He put his team in a hole that led to a 7-0 deficit where the hitters had to bail them out and win that game by scoring 10 runs. The Yankees have a better lineup than the Rangers do and if Berrios pitches the same way here, he will be in big trouble in this game. The Yankees have the better pitching matchup in this game and with two strong hitting teams here, the best bet is on the Yankees here with the better starter.

"I think that the world is probably a little bit behind what we thought, but we've always been confident in what we can do. We've known that we had an ability to make some noise for a few years internally. Obviously, we didn't. But I think this is the first year that people are kind of on board." - Bo Bichette on their win against the Yankees on Monday night.

 

 

"They made a couple big plays when they did get in trouble, but for the most part Manoah was in control." - Aaron Boone on his team’s loss against the Blue Jays on Monday night.
