The New York Yankees and the Toronto Blue Jays will play the middle game of their 3-game set in a matinée today in the Bronx. The Jays took game 1, 4-2, but the Yankees should even the score today. Toronto is expected to have Kevin Gausman on the hill. He is 2-2 with a 3.16 ERA and an excellent WHIP of only 0.83. New York is expected to counter with their new ace, Max Fried, and he has been everything they could have hoped for when they acquired him from Atlanta. The southpaw is 4-0 with a 1.42 ERA, a 1.01 WHIP, and the Yankees are 5-0 in his last 5 starts. New York has the edge in runs scored, run differential, batting average, hits and homers. The Bombers are worth considering.
