The Toronto Blue Jays currently hold the lead in the AL Wild Card picture, but their offense has been largely slumping as of late. The fledging bats of the Jays’ lineup have led to the UNDER hitting in seven of their past eight games. The Jays continue their four-game series with the New York Yankees Sunday.
- The Yankees have lost 7 straight games at the Rogers Centre.
- Jose Bautista is riding a season-high 31 game on-base streak entering the game.
- The Jays are 9-4 against the runline in their past 13 games against the Yankees.
Marco Estrada has held his own against the Yankees this season but has been hurt by the long ball. In three starts against the Bronx Bombers this season, Estrada has surrendered just 12 hits but five of those were home runs.
After proving to be wildly inconsistent for most of the season, Yankees’ pitcher Michael Pineda has found his groove recently. The righty has a 3.00 ERA in his past four starts, though it should be noted that he only pitched past the fifth inning once in that span.
