Yankees @ Blue Jays – First Pitch: 7:07 p.m.
Get ready for an action-packed MLB showdown between the Toronto Blue Jays and the New York Yankees.

MLB Angels vs. Orioles Preview
Alek Manoah was projected to take the leap as one of baseball’s top pitchers in 2023, but his performance has been disappointing so far. Despite this, he still carries significant potential, a factor that keeps the Blue Jays optimistic about their game strategy.
Toronto enters this series playing good baseball, fresh off their series sweep against the Atlanta Braves. However, the Yankees cannot be underestimated. Despite their issues with pitching, they’ve managed to play good baseball, as seen in their recent home series split against Tampa Bay.
This match-up is crucial for the Yankees, who need to maintain their momentum and avoid being dominated by the Blue Jays. Toronto, on the other hand, will be hoping for an upturn in Manoah’s form to capitalize on the Yankees’ pitching woes.
