Toronto blasted the Yankees 10-1 in Game 1 of the ALDS, flashing power and depth as Vladimir Guerrero Jr. opened the scoring with his first postseason homer and finished 3-for-4 with two RBIs. Alejandro Kirk joined the onslaught with two homers, part of a 14-hit attack that kept the lineup buzzing from top to bottom.

New York managed only one extra-base hit—Anthony Volpe's double—as Aaron Judge pressed but produced little impact. Kevin Gausman worked 5.2 innings to quiet the Bronx, and Toronto will ride rookie Trey Yesavage in Game 2, while the Yankees counter with Max Fried in a pivotal rematch of playoff pedigree and depth.

Two ALDS contenders square off in Toronto as the Yankees and Blue Jays open with Luis Gil vs Kevin Gausman. The Jays earned the top seed after posting an 8-5 edge in the season series, while New York advanced by beating Boston in the Wild Card. Cam Schlittler dazzled with eight shutout innings and 12 strikeouts, and Aaron Judge along with Anthony Volpe hit .364 in the set. Toronto’s offense led MLB with a .265 team average and 4.9 runs per game, though Bo Bichette’s knee could swing the series. The opener hinges on Gil’s command against Gausman, bullpen leverage, and current sportsbook trends.

Cam Schlittler's playoff debut delivered a historic eight-inning, 12-strikeout, zero-walk gem, topping 107 pitches and showcasing 98+ mph heat. Despite Red Sox fans targeting his family online, the rookie harnessed the fire and powered the Yankees to momentum in the AL Wild Card/ALDS arc. The impending ALDS against Toronto looms, making his workload and velocity the keys for fantasy managers eyeing a high-upside, short-series arm.

The performance reinforces Schlittler as a dynamic fantasy asset in best-ball and DFS alike, with potential two-start upside in a tight series. Monitor innings, leash, and how Toronto counters the heater as the Yankees plan to leverage his breakout in a pivotal postseason stretch.
