Toronto brings a 2-0 series lead into ALDS Game 3 in the Bronx, powered by Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and Daulton Varsho, with Trey Yesavage flashing ace-like stuff in a standout prior audition. Shane Bieber faces Carlos Rodon in a marquee matchup that could tilt the series’ balance on the road. The Jays’ offense has torched the first two games (23 runs), while New York countered with a hot top of the order but couldn’t slow Toronto’s barrage.

Betting lines tilt toward the Yankees at home, but Toronto’s recent offense and Bieber’s late-season form keep this one highly live. The preview highlights key batter-versus-pitcher history (Guerrero Jr. vs Rodon; Judge vs Bieber; Stanton vs Bieber) and model-backed bets, plus lineup and bullpen notes for a swingy, high-leverage clash in a venue suited for dramatic playoff moments.

Vladimir Guerrero Jr. delivered a playoff‑caliber blow for Toronto, blasting a grand slam off Will Warren with the bases loaded to underscore his late‑season timing and postseason poise. He sits at a scorching .833 in the series with a 2.464 OPS after a prior skid, proving his bat can erupt when it matters most.

The Rogers Centre crowd fed the energy as Toronto leaned on depth and discipline, while Trey Yesavage’s unusual high‑arm delivery unsettled New York and Max Fried’s hiccup reinforced the Jays’ offensive approach. One game remains for the Yankees to stave off elimination, but Toronto’s surge feels real and self‑contained.
