The 61-46 Yankees are coming off a series victory at home against Boston by winning the first and third games of their three-game series and are 6-4 in their last 10 games.
The Jays just finished an 8-2 homestand that saw them sweep Minnesota in four straight after winning three of four against Kansas City and splitting a two-game set against Philadelphia. Their 58-52 record puts them 4-1/2 games back of the Yankees for top spot in the AL East and six games back in the loss column. Toronto holds the final wild card spot, 1-1/2 games ahead of Baltimore but the O's have played three fewer games and are even in the loss column. They have won four of six so far from New York this season, taking two of three to start the season at Yankees Stadium.
