The New York Yankees will go for a series win over the Toronto Blue Jays when the two clubs wrap up their 3-game set this afternoon at the Stadium. Today’s expected starters are a couple of flamethrowers, southpaw Carlos Rodón for the Yankees and right-hander José Soriano for the Jays. Rodón is 4-2 with a 3.22 ERA and a 1.23 WHIP. Soriano comes in at 10-6 with a 3.23 ERA and a 1.26 WHIP. New York has been hot, winning 5 of their last 6, and the Tampa Bay Rays can feel the heat with the Yankees breathing down their necks for the lead in the AL East. The Bombers have played well in the Bronx, with a record of 32-28, and have the edge in runs scored, runs allowed, home runs, and team ERA.
