Toronto Looks to Start New Streak After Dropping Game One to New York
The American League East leaders saw their struggles in the Bronx continue on Tuesday night when Masahiro Tanaka and the Yankees toppled the Blue Jays to pull within 3.5 games of first place. The Blue Jays are struggling right now, having lost seven of their last 10 games played. Toronto has also lost 14 straight games in the Bronx, but we like them to get back into the win column tonight.
Blue Jays need Buehrle to rebound tonight
Mark Buehrle has lost his last two starts after beginning the season on a 10-1 run. He can pull into a Major League tie for wins with 11 if he secures the victory tonight. He would pull into a tie with Tanaka, who won his 11th game last night, which came against Toronto. In 16 starts against the Yankees in his career, Buehrle is just 1-10, with the lone win coming back in 2004. His ERA against the Yanks is 6.02.
Yankees moving closer to top of division standings
After a rocky start to the season, the Yankees are inching closer to the Blue Jays at the top of the AL East. They will send rookie Chase Whitley to the mound on Wednesday night. He is 2-0 with a 2.41 ERA since being called up from the minors. In his last outing, Whitley allowed just two earned runs in 7.2 innings pitched against the Mariners for his second win of the season.
We will place our bets Wednesday night at SportsBetting.ag, where the visiting Blue Jays are underdogs even with their ace on the mound. We will drop 15 percent of our bankroll on Toronto and the -103 money line as they take this game from the Yankees in New York. Place your bets now so you can enjoy what should be an exciting AL East contest between two heated rivals tonight.
