Summary:
The Yankees enter the game ranked 1st in runs per game (5.71) and 5th in team earned run average (3.88). The Blue Jays rank 26th in runs per game (4.17) and 13th in team ERA (4.29). The Yankees are (4-6) in their last ten games while the Blue Jays are just (2-8). The Yankees are (4-3) in head to head games against the Blue Jays this season outscoring them 46-30. Yankees starter Michael Pineda (8-4, 4.05) has held Toronto hitters to a combined .231 average against. Jays slugger Jose Bautista has 3 home runs in 25 at-bats against Pineda.
New York hitters are batting a combined .264 against Blue Jays starter Marco Estrada (4-6, 4.86). Yankees catcher Gary Sanchez has owned Estrada hitting .500 off him with 4 homers in 8 at-bats. New York is (24-13) at home this season while Toronto is (17-22) on the road. It’s worth noting that Pineda has been especially dominant at Yankee Stadium this season (6-2, 2.91). The Yankees have the highest scoring offense in the league and should be able to score early off Estrada who isn’t pitching to his capability. With Dellin Betances and Aroldis Chapman in the back end of the bullpen there isn’t a better duo to close out a game.
