The injury board is doing most of the work here. The Yankees are running this series without Aaron Judge (rib stress fracture, 4-6 weeks), Giancarlo Stanton, Trent Grisham, Austin Wells, and Max Fried — and they're still in first place pace and just took 2 of the first 3 vibes off this trip. Toronto, meanwhile, has Vladimir Guerrero Jr. day-to-day with lower back tightness that flared up Friday night and kept him out Saturday. If Vlad can't go, Charles McAdoo slides to first again and a thin Toronto lineup gets thinner against a guy who doesn't beat himself.
The recent-form picture is uglier for Toronto than the records suggest. The Jays just dropped 2 of 3 to the Phillies at home before this Yankees series, and now they're alternating wins and losses with a New York team that's missing its MVP. The schedule doesn't get cuter — Toronto needs this one to avoid a series loss inside the division, and they're sending a 4.55 ERA at the league's hottest road rotation.
The case for the Jays is the case for any home dog in a get-away matinee — Warren has yet to give them the long-look third time through, the Yankees' bullpen has been worked the last few days, and Toronto did already shellac New York for 8 in the opener. But that game was Schlittler-related variance. This one is a clean talent edge for the visitors, and an early start in front of a half-full dome is the kind of day where the Yankees just business-trip it home with the series.
