The New York Yankees and Toronto Blue Jays meet Monday in MLB action at Rogers Centre. The New York Yankees look to build on their 7-game winning streak. The Toronto Blue Jays look for a win after splitting their last 10 games.
The New York Yankees have scored 14 runs in their last 3 games and 4 or more runs in 8 of their last 10 games. The Yankees have won 13 of their last 14 games when scoring 4 or more runs. Aaron Judge leads the Yankees with 171 hits and 128 RBI, while Gleyber Torres and Isiah Kiner-Falefa have combined for 250 hits and 117 RBI. Luis Severino gets the ball, and he is 6-3 with a 3.36 ERA and 101 strikeouts this season. Severino is 6-3 with a 3.94 ERA and 90 strikeouts in his career against the Blue Jays.
The Toronto Blue Jays have scored 16 runs in their last 3 games and 4 or more runs in 7 of their last 9 games. The Blue Jays have won 6 of their last 9 games when scoring 4 or more runs. Bo Bichette leads the Blue Jays with 176 hits and 91 RBI, while Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and Lourdes Gurriel Jr. have combined for 299 hits and 142 RBI. Kevin Gausman gets the ball, and he is 12-10 with a 3.32 ERA and 194 strikeouts this season. Gausman is 8-7 with a 3.53 ERA and 113 strikeouts in his career against the Yankees.
Luis Severino has been good this season, but he’s also pitched just 13 innings since July, and I simply need a larger sample size to trust. Kevin Gausman has been hit or miss at times this season, but he has a 3.32 ERA and 1.24 WHIP on the season. The New York Yankees are coming off a long night that included a rain delay, and now they have to get through the boarder, which usually takes some time. The Blue Jays should have the edge here. I’ll take the Blue Jays at home.
