The Yankees (82-66) will take on the Blue Jays (85-64) in a three-game set at Toronto that could define the American League East divisional race for the rest of the season. Yankees fans can listen to all three radio broadcasts on 101.9 WFAN FM, while Blue Jays fans may do likewise on SN590 The Fan.
Game 1: Adam Warren (6-6, 3.33 ERA) vs. David Price (16-5, 2.42 ERA)
This matchup can be live streamed here. On paper, it is a severe mismatch. Price is a Cy Young candidate – and former AL Cy Young winner –but he has a 5.71 ERA and 1.70 WHIP against the Yankees in 2015. Most of that damage came in an early-season meltdown while he was still with the Tigers. Price was knocked around for eight earned runs on 10 hits in a game that featured intermittently heavy snow.
Warren’s season has been interesting. He has good numbers, but has spent the majority of 2015 as an effective cog in manager Joe Girardi’s bullpen. Warren’s made 15 starts this season, and gone six innings or more only six times. He has not made a start vs. the Blue Jays thus year.
Game 2: Luis Severino (4-3, 3.12 ERA) vs. Marco Estrada (13-8, 3.14 ERA)
This came can be live streamed free by clicking this link. Severino’s a young pitcher to be thrust in as high-stress a situation as this tilt will be, especially after the shellacking he took the last time he faced Toronto. The Blue Jays sluggers are formidable, but the Yankees can counter with hot bats of their own. Carlos Beltran and Brian McCann wore out the Mets arms over the weekend, and Alex Rodriguez will be back in the lineup now that the team will be able to use a designated hitter again.
Game 3: Ivan Nova (6-8, 5.11 ERA) vs. Marcus Stroman (2-0, 3.00 ERA)
This matchup will be a dangerous one for the Yankees, and it was supposed to be ace Masahiro Tanaka taking the hill. Nova was a train wreck his last time out, and hasn’t given up fewer than three runs since Aug. 2. Tanaka strained his hamstring running the bases this weekend against the Mets. Live stream it here.
