New York Yankees at Toronto Blue Jays (2026-08-14). Gerrit Cole vs Shane Bieber at Rogers Centre.
Starters — Cole brings a 3.35 ERA, 1.08 WHIP, and 80.2 innings with 9.71 K/9, 1.9 BB/9, and 1.23 HR/9. His last three starts were strong: 7.0 IP, 2 ER, 9 K, 0 BB; 5.2 IP, 1 ER, 5 K, 3 BB; and 6.0 IP, 0 ER, 7 K, 2 BB. The recent form points to a downward ERA trend and steady strikeout production with elite control. Bieber has a 5.48 ERA, 1.66 WHIP, and 42.2 innings with 6.75 K/9, 4.85 BB/9, and 1.9 HR/9. His last three starts were 5.2 IP, 5 ER, 4 K, 3 BB; 5.2 IP, 1 ER, 6 K, 2 BB; and 0.2 IP, 4 ER, 0 K, 6 BB. His trend is also down, but the profile remains volatile because of the elevated walks and home run rate.
Teams — New York enters with a .721 OPS and 545 runs scored, backed by a 3.28 team ERA and 1.18 WHIP. The Yankees are 6-4 over their last 10, and the overall profile is balanced, with stronger run production and clearly better run prevention than Toronto. The Blue Jays have a .678 OPS and 482 runs scored, with a 4.01 team ERA and 1.32 WHIP. They are also 6-4 in their last 10, but the season-long numbers show a lighter offense and less efficient pitching staff. Toronto’s .242 team average is higher than New York’s .231, though the Yankees still hold the edge in OPS and total runs.
