Team Previews

The Toronto Blue Jays have a strong offense, leading the league in runs scored with 566 and a solid batting average of .251. Their pitching staff is also impressive, ranking 5th in the league with an ERA of 3.69. With Rodon on the mound, the Blue Jays will look to control the game early and allow their hitters to attack Berrios.

In contrast, the New York Yankees sit 25th in the league in runs scored with 449. Their batting average of .239 indicates a lack of consistency at the plate. However, with Stanton and other key players like Vladimir Guerrero Jr., they still possess the power to score runs in bunches, especially at home.
