With a win today over the Toronto Blue Jays at Rogers Centre, the New York Yankees will clinch at least the second Wild Card spot and I see that happening. The Yanks were drilled by the Jays yesterday, 8-1, but that was due to Masahiro Tanaka giving up the long ball which is something he is good at doing. Sonny Gray will get the nod for the Yankees. Gray is 1-2 in his last 3 outings, but has a respectable ERA of 3.57, and a WHIP of 1.25. The Blue Jays will send Joe Biagini to the hill and he has been erratic. In his last 3 turns, he is 0-2, with a 7.82 ERA, and a 1.66 WHIP. The Jays are 1-6 in Biagini’s last 7 starts and 1-5 in his last 6 starts against the American League East. The Bombers should get to him today.
