On the mound for the Yankees will be Marcus Stroman, a talented right-handed pitcher. He will face off against Yusei Kikuchi, a left-handed pitcher, who is projected to start for the Blue Jays. Both pitchers bring different strengths and strategies to the game, adding an element of excitement to the matchup. This game marks the first in a series between the Yankees and the Blue Jays. The Yankees' offense has struggled in terms of team batting average, ranking 29th out of 30 teams in MLB. However, they compensate with their power, ranking 8th in team home runs. On the other hand, the Blue Jays have showcased a strong offense with a great team batting average, ranking 5th in MLB. They also have an average ranking in both home runs and stolen bases. In terms of individual performances, the Yankees' best hitter this season has been their young talent Anthony Volpe.

Meanwhile, Davis Schneider has been leading the way for the Blue Jays in the past seven games, recording 4 RBIs, 2 home runs, and a stellar 1.333 OPS.
