New York Yankees Betting Preview

The Yankees are on top of the division so far and are 2-3 in their last five games. Their most recent battle was an 8-7 defeat against the Cleveland Guardians in extra innings.

Luis Gill has pitched 9.0 innings so far and has established an ERA of 3.00 and a WHIP of 1.11. If he can sustain these numbers on the mound to start the game, they have a good chance at victory on the defensive end.

Anthony Volpe leads them offensively with a batting average of .382. He also succeeds with an on-base percentage of .477 and a slugging percentage of .564. Giancarlo Stanton leads them with four home runs so far.

The Yankees show a significant separation between their batting average and their opponents. They currently average .252 at the plate while holding their opponents to .217. If this continues, they should have an excellent opportunity to succeed.

Toronto Blue Jays Betting Preview

The Blue Jays have won their last two games and are 2-3 in their previous five. They recently defeated the Colorado Rockies 5-0, scoring five runs to earn their second win in a row.

Chris Bassitt (1-2) will start on the mound and has an ERA of 5.06 and a WHIP of 1.81. This is a great opportunity to adjust against a good offensive team and see how he responds.

A few players will be key to their success on offense. Justin Turner leads them with a batting average of .386 and has accumulated eight RBIs, while Vladimir Guerrero Jr. leads them with three home runs. This sets up a perfect opportunity for an offensive showdown with the Yankees.

The Blue Jays have a solid offense but need help with their defense. They are averaging .232 at the plate but give up .263 to their opponents. At this rate, they are in trouble against the Yankees if they have issues making an impact at the plate.
