New York vs Toronto Probable Pitchers

Gerrit Cole (12-7, 3.49) is scheduled to start for the Yankees against Mitch White (1-6, 5.12). Both will be pitching on four days of rest.

Cole vs White

Gerrit Cole
VS
Mitch White
12-7 Record 1-6
3.49 ERA 5.12
3.29 xERA 4.05
1.03 WHIP 1.41
4.98 SO/W 2.35

Cole is 2-0 in four September starts but with a 4.94 ERA.

In his last start, Cole did not factor in the decision last Friday against the Red Sox at Boston when he gave up four runs and five hits in six innings while striking out eight and walking two. He was ejected by home plate umpire Brian Knight for arguing balls and strikes.

Cole has made 11 starts in his career against the Blue Jays going 5-2 with a 3.70 ERA. He has pitched only once at Rogers Centre, though, getting a no-decision last season while yielding five runs in six innings.

On the road in 2022, Cole has a 7-2 record and 3.83 ERA in 15 starts. He is 7-4 with a 3.55 ERA in 20 starts at night. The Yankees are 20-11 when Cole pitches.

White has struggled since being acquired from the Los Angeles Dodgers on Aug. 2 in a trade. He is 0-4 with a 7.38 ERA in eight games (seven starts) for the Blue Jays.

White lasted just four innings last Friday against the Rays in St. Petersburg while getting a no-decision. He allowed three runs on five hits with two strikeouts and one walk.

He has proud parents.

In four games (three starts) at Rogers Centre this season, White is 0-2 with a 7.52 ERA. He is winless in 17 games (15 starts) at night, going 0-6 with a 5.68 ERA. The Blue Jays are 2-5 in White’s seven starts.

Yankees vs Blue Jays Betting Trends

Gleyber Torres had three hits and three RBIs for the Yankees in their clincher.

The Yankees’ Aaron Judge walked four times but was held without a home run for the seventh straight game. He has 60 homers, one short of the AL record set by Roger Maris in 1961, and is a prohibitive -20000 favorite in the AL MVP odds.

Kyle Higashioka had three hits and two runs scored for the Yankees. Anthony Rizzo added two hits.

The Yankees are considering activating infielder DJ LeMahieu prior to Wednesday’s game. He has been sidelined since Sept. 5 with inflammation of the second toe of his right foot.

The Blue Jays’ George Springer had two hits, including a home run to lead off the bottom of the first inning.

The teams have split nine games this season with the Yankees having won five of eight in Toronto. The Yankees hold a slim 34-32 edge in the series since 2019.

Yankees vs Blue Jays Prediction

Cole has been erratic in September, but White has been just plain bad since the Blue Jays traded for him. In more of a fade of White than a backing of Cole, let’s go with the Yankees.

Pick: Yankees ML (-125)
