Game of the Day

Two games with AL Wild Card impacts take place on Monday. The Blue Jays travel to Baltimore with Yusei Kikuchi taking on Jordan Lyles. Both are prone to giving up the long ball. That might favor Toronto, as the Blue Jays are third in the AL in home runs with 139, while the Orioles are eighth with 110.

The Yankees visit the Mariners with the best pitching match-up of the day as Jameson Taillon faces Logan Gilbert. Taillon owns a 6.25 ERA over his last eight starts. In that time, he allowed ten home runs in 40 1/3 innings. It’s tough to say why Gilbert’s ERA is a run and a half lower than last year, but he has done a bit better with runners in scoring position.

Enjoy!
