Blue Jays at Yankees 9/17/20 - MLB Picks & Predictions

The Toronto Blue Jays are set to visit Yankee Stadium in New York, New York for an AL East clash against the New York Yankees. The Toronto Blue Jays come into this matchup with a 26-22 record, and they will be looking to rebound after dropping their recent road game against the New York Yankees, 13-2. SP Tanner Roark received the starting nod for the Toronto Blue Jays, and he struggled as he gave up 6 earned runs in 4 innings. The Toronto Blue Jays were unable to get much going from the plate as they only got 2 runs across, but they had one bright spot with Joe Panik as the utility player was able to hit his 1st HR of the season.

The Toronto Blue Jays are set to start Chase Anderson (0-1, 5.81 ERA) who struggled in his latest start as he gave up 4 earned runs in 2.2 innings against the New York Mets. Chase Anderson has never recorded a start against the New York Yankees, but he has struggled in 2 road starts this season as he is posting a 9.00 ERA.

The New York Yankees come into this matchup with a 28-21 record, and they will be looking to continue their success after winning their recent home game against the Toronto Blue Jays, 13-2. SP Gerrit Cole received the starting nod for the New York Yankees, and he had success as he gave up 1 earned run while striking out 8 batters in 7 innings of work. Kyle Higashioka had a big game from the plate for the New York Yankees as he went 3 for 4 with 3 HRs and 5 RBIs.

The New York Yankees are set to start Mashairo Tanaka (2-2, 3.16 ERA) who had success in his latest start as he gave up 1 earned run in 5 innings against the Baltimore Orioles. Masahiro Tanaka had success in 4 starts against the Toronto Blue Jays during the 2019 season as he went 2-1 with a 3.60 ERA.

The New York Yankees are playing some of their best baseball this season as they are on a 7-game winning streak and they have done it with their bats as they have scored 33 runs over their last 2 games. The Yankees will be throwing the better pitcher with Tanaka on the mound as he is posting a 3.16 ERA, but the Bronx Bombers have received back the services of Stanton, Judge, and Urshela which makes this team very dangerous again. Luke Voit is putting up MVP numbers right now as he has 19 HRs and 45 RBIs, but LeMahieu has been doing a number on the ball himself with a .363 batting average. New York is looking like the New York we expected this season, and they will close out the series on a high note. Final Score Prediction, New York Yankees win 8-3.
