This is a 6* play on the YANKEES

The Yankees are rolling again. They are off a sweep in Baltimore where they hit 17 homers in three games and scored 32 runs total. They've won eight straight overall. This series with the Blue Jays figures to go their way as well. The Yankees are 6-3 vs. Toronto this season and the last time Domingo German pitched against them, he threw six shutout innings. German has a 15-3 team start record this year as his last six starts have all been NY wins. Toronto hits really poorly at home (.221 average) while giving up 5.5 runs/game. We just don't know how the Blue Jays can keep pace with the Yankees offense here. Not with Thomas Pannone pitching, that's for sure. Pannone is 0-3 in his five starts so far with a 9.28 ERA and 1.547 WHIP. This is every bit the mismatch it appears to be on paper. Toronto is off a 7-3 road trip, but two of the series were with Baltimore and Kansas City. This is a big step up. The Yankees have scored 58 runs during their eight-game win streak. Play on NEW YORK
