Play: Money Line: 106 New York Yankees
The Yankees are reeling and last night sums it up jumping out to a 6-2 lead before two of their better relievers allowing 10 runs issuing a bunch of walks and a big error didn't help. In the end the Yankees lost 12-7 putting them at 21-20 which is a 5-14 record since starting a league best 16-6. Overall the Yankees have lost four in a row and seven of 10 and a lot of it is either poor bullpen results or poor at bats with runners on. The Yankees have JA Happ on the mound who is 3-2 in seven games against Toronto in his career with a 3.72 ERA. Happ can give the Yankees some innings which they desperately need to give a break to a taxed bullpen giving the Yankees at leas five inning in each of his last three starts. Toronto has won their last two games and six of 10 to jump into the second spot in the AL East and four games behind the top team in the AL East. Toronto has Taijuan Walker who came over in a trade a little over a week ago from Seattle. Walker has pitched well in his two starts with Toronto allowing just two runs over 11 2/3 innings with eight strikeouts. Walker is 0-2 in two career starts against the Yankees with a 3.95 ERA. Look for the Yankees to get right as they beat up on Walker early and tack on against the Blue Jays bullpen as Happ throws well in an 8-3 win for the Yankees. Play NY Yankees
