Blue Jays at Yankees 7/14/19 - MLB Picks & Predictions

The Sunday MLB schedule will get underway with a matchup between the Toronto Blue Jays and New York Yankees from the Bronx. On Saturday, Toronto CF Randal Grichuk made a diving catch with the bases loaded and delivered a two-run single during a 2-1 road victory. Rookie Cavan Biggio had a hit and scored a run for the Blue Jays, who are 23 games below .500 overall.

Twenty-eight year old righty Marcus Stroman (5-9 3.18 ERA) will be heavily pursued at the trade deadline by contending teams. Through 104 plus innings, Stroman has allowed just ten home runs and owns a 1.26 WHIP. The New York Yankees have won 32 of their 47 home games and are the favorites to represent the American League in the World Series. On Saturday, New York’s powerful offense left 11 runners on base and was just 1-for-5 with runners in scoring position. All-Star OF Aaron Judge collected four of the eight hits for the Yankees, who lead Tampa Bay by 6.5 games for first place.

Opening Day starter Masahiro Tanaka (5-5 3.86 ERA) continues to be a model of consistency for the Yankees. Last time out, Tanaka gave up four runs in six plus innings during an 8-4 road victory against Tampa Bay.
