Toronto vs New York Stats

Toronto Blue Jays

The Toronto Blue Jays were able to end their five-game losing streak with a win against the New York Yankees. Vladimir Guerrero Jr. hit a crucial home run in the sixth inning to help secure the victory. Despite signing a long-term deal, Guerrero has been slow to produce this season, with only two home runs and 11 RBIs. Bo Bichette, the team's leadoff hitter, leads the team in hits and RBIs but has yet to hit a home run this season. Anthony Santander, acquired from the Orioles, has two homers and eight RBIs but is batting .182. Kevin Gausman, a 34-year-old right-hander, has a 2-2 record with a 3.16 ERA in five starts. The Blue Jays have a power ranking of 14, ranking 25th in offense, 11th in defense, and a 13-13 record this season.

New York Yankees Analysis

The New York Yankees are currently leading the AL East, but their position is not guaranteed as they only have a 1.5-game lead over the Red Sox and a two-game lead over the Blue Jays. They will play a doubleheader on Sunday which could potentially impact the top of the division rankings. Despite losing two of three games on the road in Cleveland, the Yankees are looking to turn things around. In Friday's game, catcher Austin Wells had two hits and an RBI. Wells, who bats 8th in the lineup, has four home runs and 12 RBIs with a batting average of .200. The Yankees are led by Aaron Judge, who boasts a .408 batting average, seven home runs, and 26 RBIs. Jazz Chisholm Jr., who has seven home runs and 15 RBIs, is also an important contributor to the team. Max Fried, a 31-year-old left-hander with a 4-0 record and a 1.42 ERA, will be starting the upcoming game for the Yankees. In their power rankings, the Yankees rank 10th overall, second in offense, and 14th in defense. They have a 15-11 record and Toronto recently won two out of three games against them in their last matchup.

Yankees Look to Bounce Back with Max Fried on the Mound Against Slumping Blue Jays

The New York Yankees, coming off a recent loss, will be starting Max Fried for their upcoming game. Fried demonstrated impressive pitching skills in his last game, almost achieving a no-hitter on Easter Sunday before a controversial call derailed his momentum. Despite this setback, Fried showcased his talent by pitching 7.2 scoreless innings. The Yankees, known for possessing the best batting lineup in baseball, will rely on players like Judge, who boasts an impressive batting average of over .400 and consistently contributes to scoring through both base hits and home runs. On the other hand, the Toronto Blue Jays have struggled to show consistency this season, losing five consecutive games leading up to this matchup. With Guerrero's lack of power evident through his low home run count, the odds are in favor of the Yankees to secure a victory early on Sunday. It is advisable to place your bets on the Yankees for this game.
