The adrenaline does not let up: after an epic comeback in Game 3 (the Yankees were down 6-1 and managed to win 9-6), the series continues in the Bronx for Game 4. The Blue Jays are trying to impose their home advantage and prevent an aggressive Yankees from tying the series.
Key matchups
The Yankees will put their young right-hander Schlittler on the mound, who already has postseason experience. Toronto, meanwhile, could pitch a “bullpen game,” distributing pitches among relievers to manage loads
Vladimir Guerrero Jr. vs. rival strategy: Vlad has been lethal in this series and will be key for Toronto to maintain the lead. Schlittler has given up runs when they face each other in the Bronx
The Jays will need to manage their arms so they don’t run out of gas. The Yankees will look to exploit any defensive disorder.
Tonight, every pitch matters. The Yankees will want to keep the momentum going and prove that they are not dead, while Toronto will want to close with authority and avoid surprises
With Schlittler on the mound and Guerrero Jr. at the center of the offense, this Game 4 could be the most intense of the series. Get ready: this could decide who advances in the American League.
