The New York Yankees are in serious trouble. They just let Boston come to the Bronx and take the first two games of their crucial American League East series. That left the Yankees at 70-62 (-12.43 units), seven games behind the Red Sox in the AL Wild Card race with only 30 games left to play.

After the Sox finish their visit, the Toronto Blue Jays (68-64, -2.17 units) will pay their final respects to Yankee Stadium. Toronto won two out of three against the Yankees last week at the Rogers Centre; A.J. Burnett and Roy Halladay were the winning pitchers for the Jays, and they’ll both get a chance to double dip in New York.

Burnett pitches the series opener Friday against Carl Pavano. He won his first start for the Yankees since April 2007, holding Baltimore to three runs in five innings of work on Saturday for the 5-3 victory. Pavano threw 91 pitches.
