Head to Head:
The Blue Jays lead the season series 5-4, and after this series these two teams face each other six more times in September.
Pitching Matchups:
| Date: | Yankees starters | Blue Jays starters |
| Mon., 7:07 p.m. | Ivan Nova (0-0, 0.00) | B. Morrow (9-6, 4.45) |
| Tues., 7:07 p.m. | D. Moseley (3-2, 4.76) | M. Rzepczynski (1-1, 4.76) |
| Wed., 7:07 p.m. | Phil Hughes (15-5, 3.90) | Brett Cecil (10-6, 3.90) |
Lineup Notes: The Yankees have benched Derek Jeter for the series opener, resulting in a weak bottom of the lineup.
Prediction:
This will be an interesting series. Nova makes an important start tonight, as he needs to get the Yankees going on the right foot to start this road trip. I think tonight will dictate whether the Yankees win or lose two out of three. Because I like the guy’s stuff, I say the win.
