The New York Yankees will take on the Toronto Blue Jays by sending Luis Severino to face off against Yusei Kikuchi in an afternoon start. Severino is 4-1 this season with a 2,80 ERA and a 1.03 WHIP. In his last start, he went six innings, giving up one run on 7 hits and striking out 10. Kikuchi is 2-3 this season wi a 4.80 ERA and a 1.54 WHIP. He lasted four innings in his last start, allowing four on five hits and four walks.

The Yankees have won nine in a row and are getting the job done on the mound. Severino has allowed zero or one run in four out of his last five starts. Kikuchi has given up 11 runs in his last three starts pitching just a total of 9.1 innings. Toronto has struggled to score against Yankee pitching this whole season as they are putting up an average of 2.5 runs in 10 games. I have to go with the better pitcher and team overall.

Play on the New York Yankees. This is an 8* play.
