• Game 3 on Tuesday at Yankee Stadium matches Yankees left-hander Carlos Rodón against Toronto right-hander Shane Bieber.
• Toronto overwhelmed New York 23–8 across the first two games, with eight home runs, as rookie Trey Yesavage set a club postseason record with 11 strikeouts over 5 1/3 no-hit innings in Game 2.
• Manager Aaron Boone said he may start Paul Goldschmidt over Ben Rice at first base and could turn to Amed Rosario or José Caballero at third to counter Bieber's righty-favoring splits.
• Teams winning the first two Division Series games at home have captured 31 of the past 34 series, though the Yankees last rallied from 0–2 in 2017.
• Blue Jays fans are traveling to New York despite ticketing limits tied to non-local billing addresses, and FanGraphs pegs Toronto's advancement odds near 85%.
