Yankees Send Their Ace to Rogers Centre
The Yankees enter this series riding a four-game winning streak, tied atop the AL East with Tampa Bay , and they’re sending their best to take Game 2. Cam Schlittler — the current AL Cy Young favorite at +170 — bounced back in his last outing against the Red Sox, surrendering just one run over 5.2 innings to help New York take a 6-1 win.
The 25-year-old righty has been one of the most dominant starters in baseball this season. He has made 28 big league starts across two seasons and boasts a 2.38 career ERA with 173 strikeouts in 155 innings. In 2026, he’s 7-3 with a 1.89 ERA, 0.86 WHIP, and 84 strikeouts across 14 starts — numbers that put him in historical company. Schlittler is only the third pitcher in MLB history to record 160 or more strikeouts with an ERA below 2.40 in their first 28 big league appearances, joining José Fernández and Paul Skenes.

His one prior loss to Toronto this season came on May 20 despite seven strikeouts and just two earned runs allowed on eight hits — a result of New York mustering only one run in support. The Yankees lineup is navigating life without Aaron Judge, who has been sidelined since June 1 with a rib stress fracture and is not expected back anytime soon. Paul Goldschmidt has picked up significant slack, batting .375 with two home runs and nine RBIs this month.
Gausman Looks to Recapture Early-Season Form
Kevin Gausman has been solid for the most part in 2026, but has allowed eight earned runs and three home runs over 11 innings across his last two starts. The veteran right-hander is averaging 5.7 strikeouts per game across 13 appearances and remains one of the more reliable arms in the American League.
Gausman has actually pitched the Yankees tough of late, going 3-0 with a 1.75 ERA and 19 strikeouts in his recent meetings against New York. That head-to-head edge matters in a ballpark setting where the home crowd can generate momentum. Vladimir Guerrero Jr.‘s power production remains a key focal point for Toronto’s offensive aspirations, though the Blue Jays have been inconsistent overall — they are just 3-25 when allowing five or more runs this season.
Toronto was 8-1 at home against New York during the 2025 regular season series  and will look to leverage that familiarity. The Rogers Centre atmosphere in a division rivalry typically plays to the home team’s advantage, and Gausman has been known to elevate his game in the spotlight.
Yankees vs. Blue Jays Picks
Money Line Pick:
- New York Yankees1 unit
This is the Schlittler show. You don’t fade a pitcher with a 1.87 ERA and a sub-0.90 WHIP, especially one pitching with a chip on his shoulder after taking a no-decision in his last outing against this exact lineup. The Yankees offense has the firepower to scratch across enough runs even without Judge in the middle of the lineup, and Goldschmidt has been a legitimate run producer in his absence. Take New York on the money line.
Over/Under Pick:
- Under 8.5 Runs1 unit
Two of the sharper arms in the AL are squaring off in what figures to be a low-scoring afternoon. Schlittler has not allowed more than three total runs against any single opponent all season, and Gausman — despite a rough couple of outings — still owns a sub-4.00 ERA with strong swing-and-miss stuff. The Yankees bullpen sports a 3.42 ERA, adding another layer of late-game run suppression. Lean Under.
