The New York Yankees appear to be well ahead of the third-place Toronto Blue Jays in the AL East. But by the end of this week's four-game series above the border, Toronto could lead the division.
The Pinstripes will try to widen a three-game lead over the Blue Jays, starting with tonight's series opener at Rogers Centre at 7:07 p.m. EST. Toronto comes off successful trips to Cleveland and Boston, coming within two runs of sweeping the Guardians last week. The Yankees have lost two road series in a row.
Aaron Judge's two home runs led New York to a 12-5 victory at home in Sunday afternoon's rubber match with Oakland. Oddsmakers seem to think such momentum will help New York conquer its road woes.

New York Yankees vs Toronto Blue Jays Predictions and Picks
In contrast to their weird hitting slump of late spring, the Yankees have blossomed into the kind of batting order that forces the hand of opposing teams. Judge's .722 slugging percentage is so fearsome that his walks alone will add to the Yankees' scoring. He's not the only one hurlers must throw away from, with Jazz Chisholm Jr. lighting up the diamond, and teammate Trent Grisham batting a sizzling .346.
Toronto could still put up a harder fight than in April's series loss at Yankee Stadium. Max Scherzer is the Blue Jays' probable starter against 9-5 Carlos Rodon following Scherzer's return to the rotation on June 27. Ian Hunter of Blue Jays Nation recapped the 40-year-old Scherzer's comeback start against the Guardians, "six hits, three earned runs, four strikeouts and three walks" in five innings pitched.
Missing relief pitchers are a majority on each team's injury list. If Scherzer's pitch count is micromanaged while Rodon's is not, it gives the Yankees an edge. Look for New York to win on the moneyline tonight.
