Preview

The Blue Jays are back in Yankee Stadium for the first time since May to begin a four-game tilt against the Yankees.  Toronto won the last series against NYY at home by a 2-1 margin after one game was postponed.  They're coming off of a sweep of the Athletics where they averaged 9.67 runs per game and they're on a five-game winnings streak.  The Yankees have not been in good form recently.  Despite being 2nd in the division and firmly holding onto a wild card slot, they've lost three in a row now.  The Bronx Bombers are losing ground on the chasing pack in the wild card race and need to redeem themselves after losing their last series 2-1 the league's worst team the Baltimore Orioles. 

Pitching matchup

Blue Jays

Steven Matz (10-7, 3.81 ERA) Steven Matz will start his 25th game of the season for the Blue Jays.  Matz is in his first season in Toronto and is averaging a 3.80.  He's pitched 123 innings and has been hit 129 times for 52 earned runs and has 116 strikeouts compared to 36 walks. In his one game against the Yankees this season, he threw for 6.2 innings and had one ER of six hits and had 10 strikeouts and no walks.

Yankees

Gerrit Cole (14-6, 2.73 ERA) Veteran pitcher Gerrit Cole will take the mound for the Yankees for his 26th start of the season.  Cole is in his second year as a Yankee and is seeing his best ERA since 2019 when he averaged 2.50 and led the majors.  This is Cole's 4th meeting against the Jays this season.  In those games has a 2.33 ERA where he had five ERs off 12 hits in 19.1 innings.  He also struck out 20 batters and walked four. 

Prediction

Both these clubs have been putting runs on the board so I expect the over to be achieved,

PICK: Over 8.5 (-110)
