Masahiro Tanaka will take the hill tonight for the New York Yankees when they face the Toronto Blue Jays in the second game of a 3-game set at Rogers Centre. Tanaka has pitched well of late, going 1-1 over his last 3 starts, with a 2.70 ERA, and a 0.80 WHIP. Tanaka has been a Blue Jay killer. New York is 6-1 in his last 7 starts against Toronto and has notched 2 victories against them this season. Toronto is expected to call up Nick Tepesch from AAA Buffalo. In 41 career starts, Tepesch is 9-19, with an ERA of 4.69. Toronto’s Ryan Goins is 0-19 against Tanaka, Justin Smoaks is 1-14, and the ex-Yankee Russel Martin is 1-11. I like the Yankees’ chances in this one.
