New York Yankees vs Toronto Blue Jays 5/17/2023 Picks Predictions Previews

The New York Yankees will go against the Toronto Blue Jays in MLB action in Rogers Centre, CAN, on Wednesday, May 17, 2023, at 7:07 PM ET. Ace pitcher Gerrit Cole of the Yankees will start the game.

After allowing two runs in five innings against the Rays last weekend, Cole was not quite at his best lately, wasting four home runs in his previous two starts and earning a no-decision in a game the Yankees won.

The veteran is having a fantastic year, allowing two runs or fewer in all but one of his starts, compiling a stunning 2.22 ERA and 1.04 WHIP in addition to a 5-0 record in 56.2 innings.

Last month, Cole pitched 5.2 innings of scoreless relief against the Blue Jays. In 13 career matchups, he is 6-2 with a 3.48 ERA.

Recently, the Yankees appeared to be a threat at the plate. The A’s pitching staff was destroyed by them last week, and they also took advantage of the Rays, scoring 22 runs in the final three matches of that series last weekend.

Without Giancarlo Stanton and Josh Donaldson, they are still competing. Next month, Stanton is expected back.

The total went OVER in 10 of the NY Yankees’ last ten matches.
The NY Yankees are 4-1 SU in their previous five matches.
The NY Yankees are 5-2 SU in their last seven games against Toronto.
