The Yankees are coming into this game with a 2-1 record overall and they are 2-1 in their home games this season where they will be in this game. They have won 2 of their last 3 games but are coming into this one off of a loss in their game which snapped a 2 game winning streak that they were on. They just won their 3-game series against the Boston Red Sox 2-1 and they are starting a 4-game series with the Blue Jays on Monday night. This will be the 2nd game of the series on Tuesday night with the series opener still to be played on Monday night. Jameson Taillon is the starter for them on Monday while Nestor Cortes will be throwing the first pitch for them here on Tuesday. Last season, he was 2-3 with a 2.90 ERA. His team has won 3 of their last 4 games with him as the starter. In his last start, he allowed 2 earned runs, 1 homer, and 0 BB with 5 strikeouts on 5 hits through 4.2 innings played against the Tampa Bay Rays. They scored 13 runs in their last series averaging just over 4 runs scored per game in that span and they allowed 11 runs against them averaging just under 4 runs allowed per game.

 

The Blue Jays are coming into this game as a slight underdog with the current betting odds. They played great in their first series winning it but they just came up short of the sweep after blowing a 6-1 lead in the series finale, losing that game 12-6. Their pitching has been a problem so far as they were down 7-0 in their season opener as well but erased that deficit to win 10-8. They are going up against a Yankees team with a much stronger hitter though and they will get into trouble if they continue to pitch the way they have. The Yankees have not been great themselves though and even though they have a team of big hitters, their weakness is in their pitching. The Jays can still score a lot of runs in their games and they already showed in their first game that there is no deficit they cannot overcome. They have the advantage here with their starting pitcher and their bullpen is a lot better than the Yankees as well. The best bet to place here is on the Blue Jays to win this game.
