New York Yankees at Toronto Blue Jays Preview & Picks
Toronto are tipped to claim an early lead in this ALDS playoff.
New York burned through their top three pitchers in the Wild Card, and that spells trouble against a Toronto offense that was in the top five in scoring during the regular season.
- Toronto Blue Jays are 10-3 in their last 13 home games
- Toronto Blue Jays are 6-1 when hosting New York this season
- The Over cashed in 6 of the 7 meetings in Toronto in the regular season
Head To Head
- New York Yankees lead the all-time series 403-335
- New York Yankees won 4-3 when the two teams last met on September 7
New York Yankees Form
New York secured their trip to the playoffs by putting together a 94-68 record during the regular season.
However, despite the impressive record, the Yankees had to settle for second place in the AL East because they lost the head-to-head with playoff opponents Toronto.
That meant they missed out on a first-round bye and had to overcome bitter rivals Boston to make it to the Division Series.
New York went into that Wild Card clash with the Red Sox on a roll, having won 11 of their final 13 regular season games, but they dug themselves into an early hole with a 3-1 defeat in Game 1.
The Yankees rebounded quickly though, and completed the turnaround as they backed up a 4-3 win in Game 2 with a 4-0 series-sealing success on Thursday.
Toronto Blue Jays Form
Toronto booked their place in the postseason by putting together a 94-68 record to finish top of the AL East.
The Blue Jays finished with an identical record to the New York Yankees, but they took the head-to-head and that meant they secured a first-round bye.
They return to action having closed out their regular season campaign with four straight victories.
Toronto stacked up a bunch of losses in the second half of September, before a 6-1 win over Boston sparked their late flurry.
The Blue Jays backed up that victory with a series sweep of Tampa Bay, beating the Rays 4-2, 5-1 and 13-4 to wrap up their schedule.
Verdict
We like New York’s chances of taking the series, but for the second straight round we expect them to fall behind early.
The rested Blue Jays have the pitching advantage for Game 1, and they also boast a tremendous home record against the Yankees this season.
