The Blue Jays are coming into this game with a 3-2 record overall and they are 1-1 in their road games this season where they will be in this game. They have lost 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 playing the series finale of a 4-game series with the Yankees on Thursday night. This will be the 4th game of the series on Thursday night with the 3rd game still to be played on Wednesday night. José Berríos is the starting pitcher for them on Wednesday while Kevin Gausman will be on the mound for them here on Thursday. He is 0-0 with a 5.40 ERA this season.

The Yankees are coming into this game with a 3-2 record overall and they are 3-2 in their home games this season where they will be in this game. They have lost 2 of their last 3 games but are coming into this one off of a win in their last game which snapped a 2 game losing streak that they were on. They just won their 3-game series against the Boston Red Sox 2-1 and they are playing the series finale of a 4-game series with the Blue Jays on Thursday night. This will be the 4th game of the series on Thursday night with the 3rd game still to be played on Wednesday night. Gerrit Cole is the starter for them on Wednesday while Luis Severino will be throwing the first pitch for them here on Thursday. He is 0-0 with a 6.00 ERA. His team won his first game with him as the starter. In his last start, he allowed 2 earned runs, 1 homer, and 0 BB with 5 strikeouts on 5 hits through 3 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 Yankees are coming into this game after a much better series opener on Monday where they shut out the Blue Jays completely and that is a big deal considering how strong the Blue Jays lineup is. The Blue Jays failed to find their bats in that game and the pitching matchups are only going to get tougher as the series goes on. Their pitching has not been that great this season either as their starters have been allowing a lot of runs and putting their team into holes that the batters need to bail them out of. Severino had a good first start and he will have a nice day here if the Blue Jays continue to stay cold with their bats. The Yankees are going to be trying hard to close this series out with a win at home here and that would be big for them considering how big of a threat the Blue Jays are in the division this season. The Yankees are hitting better right now and the Blue Jays have not hit their stride yet with pitching. The Yankees will win this game at home to close out the series.
