This is a 6* play on the YANKEES

The Yankees have been ambushed the last two days, losing to the Blue Jays by scores of 4-3 and 11-7. Seven runs scored by Toronto across the seventh and eighth innings last night were the difference as NY has now lost three straight games for the first time since early April. They'd won nine straight series before coming to Toronto and now they're in a position where they're just trying to avoid getting swept. Having a real opportunity to "tee off" against Jays starter Edwin Jackson, we see the Yanks getting the W tonight. Jackson has some really ugly numbers coming into today. It's not that he's 2-7 with a 5.21 ERA in 21 previous starts vs the Yankees, although that certainly isn't good. It's that in four starts this season, Jackson has a 13.23 and 2.20 WHIP. A case can be made that he's the least effective starter in any rotation in baseball right now after getting hammered for 17 runs in his last two starts. Toronto has lost all four games that he has started. The Yankees J.A. Happ has a 5-0 team start record on the road and has looked really good in his last two starts, surrendering just four runs with 15 strikeouts. The Blue Jays are a light-hitting team at home with a .211 batting average. Play on NEW YORK
