The Yankees have taken care of business in four straight series against the Tigers, Guardians, Orioles, and Royals, and while I don’t want to disrespect any of those teams, it will be very surprising if they’re playing meaningful baseball in September. New York’s next opponent is a step up the difficulty ladder, as they head to Toronto to take on the 15-8 Blue Jays.
The Jays are coming off some strong performances of their own, taking two of three from the Astros this past weekend, Sunday’s win led by an incredible 10-strikeout, zero walk performance from Kevin Gausman.
