A week ago today the New York Yankees were hoping just to salvage a victory against the Blue Jays in New York. This week thanks to Carlos Beltran, Mark Teixeira and Masahiro Tanaka the Yankees have already won the series and are now hoping to sweep the Blue Jays which would give them a 2.5 lead in the East and rookie Luis Severino his first win in the majors.

The Yankees and Severino will have their work cut out for them facing Drew Hutchinson. Not just because Hutchinson has won his last two decisions but the fact is he gets tremendous run support. The Jays bats back him up with 7.92 runs a game.
