Yankees vs Blue Jays: Starting Lineup - Series Finale Preview.

Yesterday's game between the Blue Jays and Yankees was a wild one.

The Jays broke out to an 8-0 lead, only for the Yankees to come all the way back before Toronto ultimately won 11-9.

After that exciting win, the two clubs now sit tied atop the AL East heading into the final game of the series.

Veteran Chris Bassitt has a 4.29 ERA in 17 starts this year and will be on the mound for Toronto coming off a blow-up outing where he surrendered nine runs (eight earned) in just two innings against the Red Sox.

He'll try to turn things around against Yankees righty Clarke Schmidt, who has a 3.09 ERA in 13 starts this season.

First pitch is at 7:07 ET on Sportsnet and TVA Sports.

Toronto has a 28-16 record at home and a 48-38 record overall. The Blue Jays have a 18-6 record in games when they hit at least two home runs.

New York is 22-19 on the road and 48-38 overall. Yankees hitters have a collective .336 on-base percentage, the second-best percentage in the majors.

The teams meet today for the seventh time this season.

For a fourth straight game, Bichette was not in the Blue Jays starting lineup on Thursday. He was a late scratch ahead of Monday's game after suffering a knee injury and has yet to appear in the series.

Clement will take his spot at shortstop once again, with centre fielder Nathan Lukes batting in the leadoff spot.

The Blue Jays have scored 28 runs through the first three games of the series after winning the opener 5-4 followed by a 12-5 victory in the Canada Day matinée, when George Springer had two home runs and seven RBIs.

The Blue Jays and Yankees will next meet for a three-game set at Yankee Stadium beginning July 21.

George Springer has a team leading 13 home runs for the Blue Jays. Addison Barger is 11 for 42 with five doubles, two home runs and four RBIs over the last 10 games.
