This is a 10* on TORONTO

The Yankees have to be feeling pretty good about their playoff chances right about now. They won for the seventh straight time last night, holding the Blue Jays to three hits in a 7-2 final. That gives them a two game lead over Boston, three game lead over Seattle and 3.5 game lead over Toronto, who is now really up against it and will face Gerrit Cole tonight. Beating Cole will not be easy. But Jose Berrios, the Blue Jays starter for Wednesday, has already beaten the Yankees once this month. In his only start against them here in 2021, Berrios held New York to two runs. Over his last seven starts, Berrios has a 0.98 WHIP and he’s looking to make tonight his seventh straight quality start. He has a very comparable team start record (16-15) to Cole (16-13) this year. Toronto has a winning record against the Yankees this year (10-7). Five Yankee relievers had to work 6.3 innings last night because of an injury to Jameson Taillon. So that could be an issue when Cole has to leave the game tonight. Toronto needs this game badly and we feel Berrios can outpitch Cole. Play on TORONTO
