As Toronto prepares for a pivotal series against the Yankees over the Canada Day holiday, both teams are looking to improve their standings. The matchup showcases two potential Hall of Famers, Max Scherzer and Carlos Rodón, highlighting their respective seasons and stats. Gausman and Fried also take center stage, with both pitchers showing promising numbers this season. The upcoming games are crucial for the Blue Jays, currently trailing in the AL East, to gain ground against a formidable opponent in New York.
Mad Max makes his third start of the year, having returned last week and thrown five innings of three-run ball against Cleveland.
Carlos' ERA is back down below three after his strong start down in Cincy, although he hasn't faced the Blue Jays lineup yet this year.
His FIP is identical, with an elevated ERA due to a higher-than-normal HR rate. Should that normalize, he should be right back up in that second tier of MLB pitchers.
Max Fried continues to be The Guy on the Yankee staff, on pace for a six-win season his first turn in pinstripes.
