Kikuchi beat the Yankees in his last outing last Wednesday in Toronto for his first win of the season. He gave up one run and three hits in six innings while striking out seven and walking one.

Kikuchi improved his career record against New York to 2-3 with a 4.06 ERA in six starts. He is 1-1 with a 1.69 ERA in three outings at Yankee Stadium.

On the road, Kikuchi is 0-1 with a 3.75 ERA in three starts this season. He has a 1-1 record with a 4.24 in four starts at night.

Gleyber Torres is 6 for 13 (.462) with a double off Kikuchi and DJ LeMahieu is 6 for 14 (.429) with a double. Conversely, Giancarlo Stanton is 1 for 8 with three strikeouts.

Severino last pitched May 1 and did not factor in the decision against the Royals in Kansas City. He pitched five innings, allowing seven hits, four runs (three earned) and one walk while whiffing four.

In 15 career games (12 starts) against the Blue Jays, Severino has a 6-3 mark and 3.43 ERA. He is 2-0 with a 3.86 ERA in three home starts and 2-0 with a 2.81 ERA in three night starts.

George Springer has had major problems with Severino, going 1 for 23 (.044) with 10 strikeouts. Vladimir Guerrero Jr. is hitless in five at-bats, striking out in four of them.

Severino’s AL Cy Young odds are +5500.

Toronto vs New York MLB Betting Outlook

The Blue Jays were off Monday after their one-run loss at Cleveland on Sunday. Teoscar Hernandez had two RBIs, but Toronto was held to four hits.

Anthony Rizzo doubled in the game’s only run for the Yankees in Monday’s victory over the Rangers. He stepped to the plate on a 2-for-30 slide.

The Yankees have won four of seven games from the Blue Jays this season and the teams split a four-game series at Yankee Stadium in April. Since the start of the 2019 season, the Yankees own a slight 28-27 edge in the series.

The Yankees’ Aaron Hicks is 6 for 19 (.316) with a home run against Toronto this season. Guerrero had hit three homers and three doubles off Yankees pitching.
