Aaron Judge is having a monster season for the Yankees, leading the team with 30 home runs and 67 RBIs. Judge needs help from his teammates in this series, and that has been a problem at times.

Veteran Carlos Rodon is set to take the mound for the Yankees, and he has gone 9-5 with a 2.92 ERA in 2025. Rodon could prove to be the difference in this series.

Max Scherzer is going to start for the Blue Jays. Scherzer has not been sharp yet on the mound, but he is capable of having a dominant start.

Vladimir Guerrero Jr. leads the Blue Jays with 12 home runs, but Toronto needs the rest of the team to respond. This game could be competitive for a bit, but the Yankees will eventually roll to a win.
