Here’s a not-so-fun fact: the Yankees are 6-16 against the Blue Jays since last year’s trade deadline, including 2-8 at Yankee Stadium. They’ve been outscored 100-68 in the 22 total games. This is not a rivalry. It’s been thorough domination by Toronto. The Yankees have won just twice in nine tries against the Blue Jays this season, and if they’re going to have any chance of making the playoffs, that trend has to be reversed right now, starting tonight. Here is the Blue Jays’ lineup and here is the Yankees’ lineup:
- CF Jacoby Ellsbury
- 3B Chase Headley
- SS Didi Gregorius
- 1B Mark Teixeira
- 2B Starlin Castro
- DH Brian McCann
- C Gary Sanchez
- RF Aaron Judge
- LF Aaron Hicks
RHP Chad Green
Thankfully it has cooled down a bit in New York, meaning it was only about 90 degrees and humid today rather than 100 degrees and super humid like it was over the weekend. There is some light rain in the forecast throughout the night, but the really heavy stuff isn’t supposed to come down until the wee hours of the morning. Tonight’s game will begin a little after 7pm ET and you can watch on YES.
