Toronto – Advantage, the Blue Jays, but the Yankees want to make sure we don't see the bias as in the first game of the ALS Division Series.
“I feel like we've been here for a while and things haven't left yet,” said manager John Schneider. “Every season has a different feeling and a different atmosphere. I've said before that this team feels differently. Again, it's a game. We have a lot of series ahead of us, but it's good. I'm very happy with the guys out there, who have grindled in a lot of work and put a lot of work into it.”
The Yankees had a chance, most notably base loading, and AL MVP candidate Aaron Judge was in the sixth set, but the game stood out after it couldn't break it.
“I don't think any loss is a good loss, but at the end of the day, there's adversity before this locker room,” said Yankee outfielder Cody Bellinger. “All the guys here, we believe each other. Now, we have to come out tomorrow, play the best game and capitalize.”
Now, the Yankees have beaten seven of eight games this season at the Rogers Center, which swung the season series to the finale in the AL East. Now, they need to rush back before the second game to get the series back even to New York.
“They are strong teams no matter the court,” said Yankee shortstop Anthony Volpe. “We just have to do our best, show up and play, and I think we'll be fine. We have a chance.” [Sunday] Go home with straps. ”
In the current 2-2-1 format division series, the team that won the first game won 40 of 40 (74.1%) at home, so the Yankees are already facing a tough climb in search of returning to the World Series.

Fried allowed three walks for six strikeouts and said he still had something left when manager Aaron Boone called the bullpen with a 102-goal lefty.
Fried faced Toronto four times this season, 2-1 with a score of 4.07 ERA, with a win at the last meeting on September 7 (7 IP, 3 ER). Only one of them started in Toronto, with a loss on July 23 (5 1/3 IP, 6 R, 4 ER).
Blue Bird: Rookie sensation Trey Yesavage (1-0, 3.21 ERA) opened just three games in September, but he showed enough of the Blue Jays to win the start of the second game. Yesavage opened the season in solo units and climbed every ladder on the way to the majors, occupying the batsmen on every level. Now, the 22-year-old faces the biggest challenge of his life when facing the Yankees.
Yesavage beat 16 batsmen in 14 innings in the major leagues, and among minors, he hits a 14.7 K/9 strikeout rate. Yesavage hits a heavy fastball that hits a 94-96 mph range, but his splitter is the star of the show, starting at the release point high in the sky to create a constant trend. There is some real trickery between Yesavage's fastball and the splitter, which makes the Yankees never see the young right.
Walking might be a problem for Yesavage, but he got the mission with an extraordinary season. The bullpen will be well-stocked behind him, but the Blue Jays are pleased with Yesavage rolling while working.
What is the starting lineup?
Yankees:Yanks are backing off their first game in search of better results. An interesting move was to promote Ryan McMahon to seventh place, which Boone said had nothing to do with Gaussman. More information on the late showdown against Toronto Bulls.
Blue Bird: Manager John Schneider chose to save potential late game locations for Anthony Santander because it's easy to slide any left-handed in Davis Schneider. This left the Blue Jays with Nathan Lukes on the bench, a troubled option that made a lot of connections with the rights holders later on.
How will the bullpen line up after the starter?
Yankees: Boone actively participated in the bullpen in the first game, calling on Tim Hill (21 courts), Camilo Doval (20 goals), Luke Weaver (10 courts), Fernando Cruz (16 courts) and Paul Blackburn (36 courts). They may leave Weaver, who expresses the problem of tilt and Blackburn. Doval is likely to drop, too, but for the rest of the series, he will take on the role of the seventh inning. David Bednar took two days off after throwing two games in all three of the Red Sox's games.
Blue Bird: Louis Varland looks great behind Gausman in the first game, Toronto also turned to Seranthony Dominguez, Brendon Little and Jeff Hoffman, all key bullpen pieces. However, it's goodbye, as all these pitchers have been taking extra breaks lately and should be available tomorrow. The Blue Jays also carry four lefties in their pens so that in Game 2, if the situation calls for this, they will be ready to make more matches in Game 2.
Any injuries?
Yankees: Bellinger re-punched the left heel in his final game against Boston. This may affect his running, especially when slowing down, but he looks useful in Game 1. The judge's right elbow state is a topic throughout the wild card series, as Boston is looking for opportunities to test the judge's throwing opportunity. He was clearly compromised after flexor stress in July, although it didn't seem to affect his offense.
Bluebird: Bo Bichette is still recovering from a sprain in her left knee and hasn't started running yet, so we won't meet him until the earliest Al Championship Series. You can feel like there is no Bichette in this roster, and even though the Blue Jays do a great job with the “Next Man” approach, he is Vladdy's key bat in cleaning up the position. Another injury that affects position players is Ty France, which recovered enough field bats from a diagonal injury before Alds, limiting the options for substitute bats in Toronto.
Who is hot and who is not?
Yankees: So far, the judges (15, 2B) and Volpe (15-15, HR) have been waving the most consistent bats in the playoffs. Ben Rice scored a thrilling streak in the regular season, but he was unattended in the first game of the ALDS. Giancarlo Stanton has been taking back the October Magic a year ago in advance. He scored 15-1 in the playoffs.
Blue Bird: Is anyone hotter than Kirk in baseball? Kirk has won two home runs in the first game of the ALDS and now has five home runs in the last three games, seemingly thriving under these high pressure situations. Guerrero was also a terrified batsman and a just-start home run, opening the score on Saturday with a 3-4 run while doing some great defense. Daulton Varsho also quietly owned a good game and did a one-time doubles and a walk. Given his strength potential, Valshau feels like a guy who can play for this team sometime in the playoffs. As a lineup, the Blue Jays only made two appearances and walked twice in Game 1, so they played a lot of balls in the game.
Fans may still want to know?
Blue Bird: Yesavage will only make appearances in his first four Major League Baseball (MLB) including the playoffs, joining Shane Baz (2021 Alds G2) and Matt Moore (2011 Alds G1), all third pitchers.
Yankees: During the regular season, the Yankees finished the game 44-37 (.543) on the road and ranked second in the Winemakers (45-36). But only the Phillies (55-26) are better than the Blue Jays (54-27) – and the Toronto Yanks lost seven of the eight this year.
