In their recent outings, the Yankees have shown both flashes of brilliance and moments of vulnerability. A standout performance came against the Atlanta Braves on June 23, where they secured an 8-3 victory. The team's hitting statistics were impressive with a .290 batting average and an OPS (On-base Plus Slugging) of 1.017, showcasing their ability to get on base and hit with power. The bullpen also shone brightly with an ERA (Earned Run Average) of 0.0 over 2.1 innings pitched, demonstrating effective relief pitching that kept the Braves' bats at bay.


However, not all games have gone in favor of the Yankees. A stark contrast was seen in their game against the Baltimore Orioles on June 20, where they suffered a heavy defeat with a scoreline of 17-5. This game highlighted some defensive frailties as evidenced by three errors committed by the team which contributed to their loss.

The Blue Jays will not make it easy for them though; they've been formidable opponents this season with strong pitching and batting lineups that can challenge even the best teams in MLB.
