Toronto Blue Jays Preview
Despite their recent loss to the Rangers, the Toronto Blue Jays look like a team with bad intentions for their division rivals this season. As things stand now, the men in blue are in the top 5 of the batting stats league-wide. All-Star Vladimir Guerrero is starting the season red-hot, and the batting order is clicking well.
If the Toronto Blue Jays can continue with this momentum, they could register another big win like they previously did the last time both sides locked horns at Yankee Stadium.
Key Player - Vladimir Guerrero Jr.
It was a sensational start for last year's American League MVP runner-up. Vladimir Guerrero Jr. is out there to prove something this year —and so far— he has made his mark. The slugger has a slash line of .455/.500/727 with a homer and four runs batted in through three games. If he keeps going at this rate, there is no doubt the New York Yankees could be in for some trouble on Monday.

New York Yankees Preview
It's been a fine start for the New York Yankees this season. They closed out their series against their bitter rivals the Boston Red Sox with a slim defeat but still had the upper hand, registering a 2-1 three-game series.
The starting rotation of the Yankees needs to put on some better performances as they've so far given up a combined eight earned runs through three games. In what was a pleasant surprise, it was their bullpen who's making up and stabilizing their power from the mound.
Key Player - Giancarlo Stanton
The powerful slugger has had a decent start to the 2022 season. Giancarlo Stanton has a slash line of .385/.385/.846 with two homers and four runs batted in. He leads the Yankees with five hits through 13 at-bats. Look for him to keep this hot streak going.

Blue Jays vs Yankees Match Prediction
In this battle of the Titans in the American League East, it will surely come down to who can hit the ball and have a better plate performance. Given the recent record of the Toronto Blue Jays and the plethora of talent that they have on the team, they hold a slight edge in this one. Blue Jays win, 3-2.
