Yankees vs. Blue Jays, 7:07 p.m. ET

Moneyline pick: Blue Jays -121

The New York Yankees need a win in the worst way after dropping a two-game set against the Philadelphia Phillies over the weekend, giving them a three-game losing streak. New York has been outscored by an average of 3.3 runs and producing 4 runs per game at the plate. However, their pitching has not been greatest as not been as advertised with a 7.00 ERA over that time.

New York will hope their fortunes will change with Jordan Montgomery on the bump. The 28-year-old has been the Yankees’ second-best pitcher behind Gerrit Cole this season. He has a 3-1 record and 3.99 ERA in 12 starts. However, Montgomery’s ERA balloons to 5.52 on the road this season. But the good news for New York is that they have a record of 2-1 in Montgomery’s last three road starts.

It’s going to be tough to hold down a Blue Jays’ offense that is averaging 5.58 runs per game at home this season. If Toronto can jump out to an early lead, that should bode well for Ryu. The Blue Jays’ ace is 5-4 with a 3.34 ERA in 12 starts this season. But he has pitched well at home (Dunedin/Buffalo) with a 2.77 ERA and opponent batting average of .240. This will be the third time he’s facing the Yankees this season. In two starts, Ryu has a 1.50 ERA and limiting New York to a .186 batting average at the plate.

Player Prop: Vladimir Guerrero Jr. over 0.5 RBI (+127)
