Other than Joe Girardi, who would’ve thought that the Yankees would actually improve as a team after selling out at the deadline. Since then, the Bronx Bombers have a winning record and now sit just 3.5 games back of an AL wild-card spot. The Yanks will take on the Blue Jays tonight as they send Luis Cessa to the mound to face Aaron Sanchez.
- The Blue Jays are 9-2 in their last 11 games after a loss.
- The Jays are 7-2 on both the moneyline and runline in their last 9 games against the Yankees.
- The total has gone UNDER in 14 of the Blue Jays' last 20 games on the road.
The rookie Cessa is 2-0 since being promoted to the rotation and has gone exactly six innings deep in all three of his starts. His record so far is a little inflated by the run support he’s gotten as he’s received 7.67 runs of support per game since being named a starter.
Aaron Sanchez was excellent in his first start, posting a win and quality start against Baltimore, after he was given extended rest on a paper move to Single-A Dunedin. The 24-year-old righty is now 13-2 with a 2.88 ERA on the season and is 8-1 with a 2.53 ERA in 14 road starts.
New York has not been able to score runs on Sanchez this year as he has a 0.71 ERA in two starts against them this year.
