He is keeping the ball in the park as hitters have 15 home runs after allowing 31 homers in 175.0 innings last season. Rodon faced the Blue Jays once already this season and did not factor into the decision as he pitched five innings and gave up two runs on five hits with one hit by pitch, three walks, and four strikeouts.
Toronto Blue Jays
The Toronto Blue Jays have been hitting well heading into the season as they are tied with the Detroit Tigers and Seattle Mariners for sixth place with a .741 team OPS while averaging 4.63 runs per game. One struggle for the team has been the inability to steal bases as they are 24th in the bigs with 52 stolen bases while being caught 16 times. First baseman Vladimir Guerrero Jr has been hitting well as he has a .278/.385/.439 slash line with 12 homers, 55 RBI, 46 runs scored, and four steals while being caught three times.

Prediction
The Yankees are three games back of the Blue Jays for the division lead and the Yankees were swept a few weeks ago by the Blue Jays. This is a chance for them to bounce back. Carlos Rodon has pitched well throughout the season and this lineup has scored 16 runs in the last two games. Expect the New York Yankees to treat this game as important so take them to win on the road here.
