Toronto (26-21) is a half-game ahead of New York (26-20) for second in the AL East and the No. 5 seed in the league playoffs. Toronto has reintegrated Bo Bichette and his .970 OPS (on-base plus slugging) into its lineup, while Yankees power hitters Aaron Judge and Giancarlo Stanton are each nearing a return from injuries. The Blue Jays are scoring 4.2 runs per game on the road and their .723 away OPS is 18th-best among 30 MLB teams. The pitching staff’s 3.88 road earned-run average ranks sixth-best.

Walker’s previous teams were 3-5 in his last eight starts as an away underdog. The total has finished at 9.0 runs or fewer in all three of Garcia’s starts, with the most recent outing being a strong seven-inning effort against Toronto on September 9.
Tanner Roark (2-1, 5.60 ERA, 7.9 SO/9) starts opposite fellow righthander Gerrit Cole (5-3, 3.20 ERA, 12.1 SO/9) in Wednesday’s matchup. The Blue Jays are 6-2 in Roark’s last eight starts, and the OVER has hit in three of his last four. The Yankees’ are 1-4 in Cole’s last five starts with the UNDER hitting four times.
