New York Yankees at Toronto Blue Jays Preview & Picks
New York are tipped to bounce back from their blowout defeat in Game 1.
The Yankees are turning to an experienced and in-form pitcher for this matchup, while the Blue Jays are sending out an inexperienced rookie who has had limited innings and could be dazzled by the bright lights of the postseason.
- New York Yankees are 13-3 in their previous 16 games
- New York starter Max Fried is 19-5 with a 2.86 ERA this season
- Max Fried is 4-1 with a 2.70 ERA all-time against Toronto
- The Over has cashed in 5 of the last 7 meetings in Toronto (1 push)
Head To Head
- New York Yankees lead the all-time series 403-336
- Toronto Blue Jays lead this MLB Playoff series
- New York Yankees won 10-1 when the two teams last met on October 4
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
New York got blown out last night, but we expect to see an immediate response from them here.
The Yankees have a sizeable edge in the pitching battle for this one, and they are backed to take advantage of that.
