Venue
Rogers Centre — Toronto, Ontario
First pitch: 7:07 p.m. ET
Surface: Artificial turf

Probable Pitchers
Houston: RHP Beau Burrows
Burrows has shown flashes of reliability but remains inconsistent, particularly with command. His fastball‑curveball mix can generate swings and misses, but he has struggled with hard contact when falling behind in counts.
Toronto: RHP Chase Yesavage
Yesavage has emerged as one of Toronto’s most promising young arms, featuring a high‑spin fastball and sharp slider. His home splits have been strong, and he has held right‑handed hitters to low exit velocities throughout June.

Key Player Matchups
Yordan Alvarez (HOU) vs Chase Yesavage (TOR)
Alvarez’s ability to punish high fastballs will be tested against Yesavage’s elite velocity. The slider away will be the key pitch.
Bo Bichette (TOR) vs Beau Burrows (HOU)
Bichette thrives against pitchers who rely heavily on breaking balls. Burrows’ curveball command will determine this matchup.
Jose Altuve (HOU) vs Blue Jays Bullpen
If Yesavage exits early, Altuve’s ability to jump on first‑pitch strikes becomes a major factor.
