The Toronto Blue Jays face off against the New York Yankees, riding a five-game winning streak. The Blue Jay's bats have come alive as they have put up 26 runs in their last three games and four or more runs in six of their last seven games. Steven Matz will get the start for Toronto against the Yankees. He is 10-7 with a 3.80 ERA and 116 strikeouts, In his career against the Yankees, he is 2-3 with a 5.77 ERA and 35 strikeouts.

The Yankees need a win after losing seven of their last nine games. The Yankees offense has been sputtering, having scored just 10 runs in their last three games and four or more runs in five of their last seven games. This season, Gerrit Cole has posted a 14-6 record with a 2.73 ERA and 215 strikeouts. Against the Blue Jays, he is 5-0 with a 2.64 ERA and 51 strikeouts.

Cole has been dominant this year against everyone has been dominant over Toronto in his career. The Blue Jays are playing the better baseball and have won five in a row. The Yankees have stumbled, having lost seven of nine. Matz has been pitching well, allowing just six earned runs in his last 32.2 innings. As well as Cole has pitched, I like the value on the Blue Jays who are playing better at the moment and Matz has pitched well enough to take a shot.

Play on Toronto.
