Toronto at New York

Toronto won the division, rested for five days, then blasted New York in the first two games, 10-1 and 13-7. The offense was fourth in scoring during the regular season and No. 1 in on-base percentage. They've won six in a row, scoring 51 runs! Shane Bieber (3.57 ERA) is holding batters to a .225 average with the team 5-2 in his seven starts, and he'll start Game 3 in the Bronx. While Toronto got to rest and set its rotation, the Yankees had to battle rival Boston for three close games, then head to Toronto for the first two. With their backs against the wall, Carlos Rodon is on the bump today. Rodon walked 73 batters in 195 innings this season, and was worse against Toronto, allowing eight free passes and 11 hits in 10 innings. The bullpen is 16th in ERA (3.98), so back the talented visitors to close this out. Play Toronto.
