The New York Yankees will look to get back on track today when they wrap up a 3-game set against the Toronto Blue Jays in the Bronx. The Yankees fell yesterday to the Jays, 2-1, but Masahiro Tanaka will be on the hill for New York today and when he faces the Blue Jays good things happen. New York is 6-0 in Tanaka’s last 6 turns at home against Toronto and the Yanks are 5-0 in his last 5 starts overall. The Jays will counter with Marcus Stroman, who will probably be in pinstripes before the trade deadline. Will he want to pitch well today? Absolutely, so this won’t be an easy one. Stroman’s numbers aren’t bad, with a 3.18 ERA and a 1.26 WHIP, but Toronto has issues winning back-to-back games. They are just 4-17 in their last 21 games following a win. The Bombers get it done.
