The biggest strength for New York is its balance between offense and pitching. The Yankees have scored more runs, hit more home runs, posted a higher on-base percentage, generated a better slugging percentage, and own a lower ERA than Toronto. Those advantages have helped produce one of the strongest records among the teams in this matchup.
