The Yankees last 13 games are a walk in the park so I think all the pressure is on the Jays in this series. As I mentioned a few weeks ago I hope the jays failure to take advantage of the weak part of their schedule doesn't come back to haunt them but it's looking dicey.

Wanted to do a comp of the Jays vs Yanks, both on this season stats and the projections, both as a comp for this series and a potential playoffs matchup.

I tried my best to make the matchups as logical as possible based all on performance, age, role, pedigree, etc. but it'll never be perfect. think I cam close tho.

Projections

The two teams look pretty comparable here both on this year's performances and on the projections. Yanks do have the Judge advantage tho.

Projections

This is where it gets a little trickier.

Based on this year's stats the Yanks have a pretty huge advantage in the starting pitching....but that completely disappears in the projections, which actually like Toronto's starters better....and by a solid amount.

Based on this year's stats the two bullpens have actually been pretty comparable.....but the projections like the Yanks' bullpen much better going forward (though they still like the jays' bullpen too).
