After a hot start and looking like the best team in baseball, injuries hit the Yankees, and now they are trying to battle out of a slump that has seen them lose five of their last six games. The Yankees have had trouble scoring runs as they have scored five runs in their last three games. The Yankees will turn to Jordan Montgomery for today's start. This season, he is 2-2 with a 5.76 ERA. On his career against Toronto, he is 2-0 with a 2.33 ERA.

The Toronto Blue Jays are in second place in the AL East and are a game in front of the Yankees. The Blue Jays have scored 20 runs in their last three games. The Jays would like to put some space between them and the Yankees before the Yankees get back to full strength. They will try to accomplish that with Hyun-Jin Ryu taking the mound. This season, he is 3-1 with a 2.51 ERA. In his career against the Yankees, he is 0-2 with an 8.71 ERA.

The Yankees are 2-6 in their last 8 games as an underdog and 1-4 in their last 5 overall. The Blue Jays are 7-3 in their last 10 games as a favorite.

Jordan Montgomery has allowed 15 earned runs in his last 19.1 innings while Hyun-Jin Ryu has allowed four earned runs in his last 34 innings. Montgomery has not pitched well on the road. Toronto has the better pitcher and is playing better baseball at this point.

Play on Toronto.
