After tying or defeating their opponents in four of their last five series, it appeared as though the Blue Jays were beginning to turn their season around. However, they lost the final two games against a beatable Tigers team and the first of two against the equally lowly New York Mets. They’ll be in tough against the Yankees, who have dominated Toronto of late, and will send second-year starter Sam Gaviglio to the mound to face New York.
The Yankees will counter with Sonny Gray, who has struggled to a 5.44 ERA through 16 starts this season. Gray has walked 36 batters in 82 1/3 innings over those 16 starts, which puts him on pace to have the worst walk stats in a season of his career. Despite Gray’s inconsistency, the Yankees’ offence will no doubt be in full swing. Don’t miss Friday’s offensive output. Game time is 7:07 PM ET.
MLB Odds: Toronto Welcomes the Yankees for AL East Meetup
This Friday (7:07 PM ET), the New York Yankees bring their offensive talents to Toronto to take on the Blue Jays. Toronto failed to capitalize on two winnable series against the Detroit Tigers and New York Mets and will now be faced with pitching to the MLB’s most dangerous lineup.
New York enters Friday’s matchup having won two straight series and are 16 games above .500 at press time. They have their sights set on first place in the AL East, which they trail by three games to the Boston Red Sox. Sonny Gray will be tasked with taking on the 17th-ranked Jays’ offense and will look to even his record to 6-6.
