Taillon has a 1-1 record with a 3.07 ERA in three starts in the Bronx in 2022. His only start in a day game was April 16 when he allowed two runs in 4.2 innings and had a no-decision against the Orioles in Baltimore.
Bo Bichette has five hits in 13 career at-bats against Taillon for a .385 average with two doubles and Vladimir Guerrero is 4 for 12 (.333) with two doubles and a home run. Lourdes Gurriel Jr. is just 1 for 10 (.100).
Blue Jays vs Yankees Betting Outlook
Judge hit his first career walk-off home run Tuesday night, a three-run shot in the ninth inning off closer Jordan Romano that lifted the Yankees to a one-run win over the Blue Jays.
The Yankees’ other three runs came on a home run by Giancarlo Stanton in the sixth inning that tied the score 3-3. Judge and Stanton have homered in the same games 20 times and the Yankees have won 19 times.

Blue Jays vs Yankees Prediction
After trading with the Minnesota Twins for Berrios last July, the Blue Jays signed him to a seven-year, $141-million contract extension in the offseason. However, they haven’t received a favorable rate of return so far this season while Taillon has quietly been pitching well for the Yankees. Thus, New York is the play here.
Pick: Yankees ML (-143)
