The Toronto Blue Jays took two of three in the Bronx last week and defeated the New York Yankees 4-2 in the opener of a three-game series against their division rival yesterday. I think the Jays are looking good to set themselves up for a sweep with another win Tuesday night.

Here are my keys to the game:

1. Pitching - The Jays hand the ball to J.A. Happ (6-2, 3.20) who outdueled CC Sabathia in a 3-1 win at New York on May 26. Happ held the Bronx Bombers to one run on three hits seven innings in that contest and the left-hander has allowed just a pair of runs in 13 innings against New York this season. Sabathia (3-3, 2.83 ERA) conceded two earned runs in seven innings of the loss to Happ and he's been solid since returning from a groin strain, but the way the Jays are hitting right now the veteran is likely to struggle tonight.

2. Yankees vs. Southpaws - The Bronx Bombers' .239 batting average against left-handers is among the bottom third marks in baseball and their .361 slugging percentage the sixth worst. They're 6-14 in their last 20 games vs. a left-handed starter.

3. X-Factor - The Yankees' designated hitter Alex Rodriguez is 0-for-14 off Happ.

Selection: This is a play on the Toronto Blue Jays (8*)
