The Blue Jays are coming into this game with a 17-13 record overall and they are 7-7 in their road 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 lost their 4-game series against the Cleveland Guardians 3-1, had Monday off as a rest day, and they are playing the series finale of a 2-game series with the Yankees on Wednesday. This will be the 2nd game of the series on Wednesday with the series opener still to be played on Tuesday. Yusei Kikuchi is the starting pitcher for them on Tuesday while José Berríos is on the mound for them here on Wednesday. He is 2-1 with a 5.34 ERA this season. His team won 5 of their last 6 games this season with him as a starter. In his last start, he allowed 6 ER, 1 HR, and 1 BB with 0 Ks on 8 hits in 4.2 IP against the Cleveland Guardians. They scored 18 runs in their last series averaging just over 4 runs scored per game in that span and they allowed 21 runs against them averaging just over 5 runs allowed per game.

 

The Yankees are coming into this game with a 20-8 record overall and they are 12-4 in their home games this season where they will be in this game. They have won 2 of their last 3 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 series finale of a 2-game series with the Blue Jays on Wednesday night. This will be the 2nd game of the series on Wednesday with the series opener still to be played on Tuesday. Luis Severino is the starting pitcher for them on Tuesday while Jameson Taillon will be on the mound for them here on Wednesday. He is 2-1 with a 2.84 ERA this season. His team won their last 4 straight games this season with him as a starter. In his last start, he allowed 1 ER, 0 HRs, and 0 BB with 4 Ks on 5 hits in 6 IP against the Toronto Blue Jays. They scored 5 runs in their last series averaging just under 2 runs scored per game in that span and they allowed 5 runs against them averaging just under 2 runs allowed per game.

 

The Blue Jays are coming into this game as a slight underdog with the current betting odds. They have not been playing very well in their recent games but they have played the Yankees well this season and they even split their last series with them in New York in 4 games. The Blue Jays are getting plenty of guys on base with a lot of chances to score runs but they have not been cashing those runs in while the Yankees have been. They are going up against a Yankees team here that has been playing very well at home recently but their bats have cooled off a bit as well and they have been relying on their pitching in these recent games. Berrios did not have a good start last time for the Jays but he has been pitching well this season and will likely bounce back in this game. It is only a matter of time until the offense starts to roll for the Jays and they are catching the Yankees at a good time here near the end of a hot streak. The Jays will not want to lose here after dropping a series at home to the Yankees just last week. Their offense is just as good as the Yankees and they have a great pitching staff as well. They will figure out a way to win this game. The best bet here is on the Blue Jays to win this game.
