Toronto is a .500 road team and is on a 10-13 run against lefty starters, including losing seven of the last 10 versus southpaws. The Blue Jays play their fourth consecutive road game here, and starter Alek Manoah has been struggling with the team losing three of his last four starts. He's allowed 13 runs and 21 hits in 22 innings during this stretch. Toronto is 12-28 after four straight victories, plus 10-18 on the road after three or more straight road contests. New York is second in the Majors offensively in runs scored, fifth in on-base percentage, fourth in slugging, and the deep pitching staff is third in ERA (3.36). Starter Nestor Cortes has a 2.28 ERA at Yankee Stadium this season, along with a 2.16 ERA versus the Blue Jays, so back home field in this one. Play New York.
