Toronto Blue Jays probable pitchers & starting lineups vs. New York Yankees, August 4

The Toronto Blue Jays prepare to take on the New York Yankees with a chance to secure a series victory over their arch rivals. The Yankees enter the day in a tie with the Orioles for first place in the AL East, while the Blue Jays are looking for any way to shorten up that 14.5 game defecit in the standings they can find. This is surely a lost year for the Jays, and a shot at the division title is in the rearview mirror, but any chance to get at least closer to .500 is a more reasonable goal.

Probable starting pitchers

Rookie Yariel Rodriguez is set to take the mound for his 11th start of the year. The right-hander has had some up-and-down performances this season, but his numbers are largely encouraging. He's striking out just under 10 batters per nine innings while sporting a sub-4.00 FIP and a 95 ERA+, suggesting he's just five percent below league-average on the mound. Entering the day, he has punched out six or more batters in four of his last five outings.

Opposing Rodriguez on the mound will be six-time All-Star and 2023 Cy Young Award winner Gerrit Cole. The 33-year-old has made just seven starts this season and is sporting a 5.40 ERA. However, he has repeatedly proven himself to be one of the very best starters in all of baseball and struggling pitchers always have a knack of turning things around once the Blue Jays roll into town.
