"Already known as a Jays' killer during his time with the Tampa Bay Rays, the last thing Toronto would want is to face Ryan Yarbrough once again, this time in the MLB Playoffs. With a career 9-3 record and 3.42 ERA in 24 appearances facing the Jays, the nine wins represent the most wins Yarbrough has registered against any club in all of MLB."
"Steven Matz has come a long way since his time with Toronto. The Jays gave Matz the opportunity to get his career back on track as a starter when they acquired him from the New York Mets during the 2020-21 offseason. In the end, the veteran left-hander went a solid 14-7 with a 3.82 ERA along with 144 strikeouts in 150 2/3 total innings pitched."
Toronto clinched the American League East division title and will have time off to prepare for the World Series. Former Blue Jays now on other teams could complicate Toronto's playoff path. Ryan Yarbrough holds a career 9-3 record and 3.42 ERA in 24 appearances against Toronto, representing the most wins he has against any club, and joined the New York Yankees after Toronto let him go before the 2025 season. In 2025 he posted a 3-1 record with a 4.36 ERA and 1.20 WHIP as a swingman. Steven Matz revived his career in Toronto, going 14-7 with a 3.82 ERA, 144 strikeouts and 150 2/3 innings before transitioning to a swingman and reliever role in 2025.
