A recent hot streak has put the Blue Jays in control of the AL East and the addition of a former Cy Young finalist could further cement them as the favorites.
For the Yankees, as of July 12, two days before the All-Star break, the New York offense leads the MLB in homers (149), walks (372), OBP (.339), SLG (.458), and OPS (.797), while the pitching staff has permitted the fewest hits (694), lowest OBA (.224), and rank top 10 in WHIP (1.21), and strikeouts (846).
The Toronto Blue Jays recently completed a four-game sweep of the New York Yankees, ascending to first place in the AL East in the process.
Toronto sits two victories away from the franchise record for wins before the All-Star break, with six games to go.
The Toronto Blue Jays are putting together a special season. In fact, USA Today's Bob Nightengale reports they believe it's their best chance to get back to the World Series since their last appearance in the Fall Classic in 1993.
