What you should watch in the postseason race today: Can Gary Sanchez keep hitting .500 against the Jays?

With only nine days left in the season, every game has the potential to alter the postseason picture. As we enter the final days of the stretch run, we'll spotlight the biggest moments that we know you won't want to miss.
Yankees at Blue Jays - 4:07 ET
If you're a Yankees fan, you probably know that Gary Sanchez is off to a historic start -- cranking out 19 home runs faster than anyone in history. But if you're a Blue Jays fan, then you definitely know that. Entering Friday night's game, Sanchez was hitting .500 against Toronto with nine hits (three of them homers, natch) in 18 at-bats. 

Sure, that's a remarkably small sample size. Of course that would go down. And when the Blue Jays shut out the Yankees in their 9-0 victory, surrendering only three hits, that definitely wen-- wait, that didn't happen?! 
Nope. While Francisco Liriano helped stymie the Yankees, Sanchez still went 2-for-4 in the loss, collecting all but one of the Yankees hits. Which means, yep, he'll enter Saturday still hitting a perfect 50 percent against the Blue Jays. Toronto may have the edge though, as Sanchez has yet to face Saturday's projected starter, Marcus Stroman, so perhaps the Blue Jays will have the element of surprise. 
Then again, Sanchez has hammered every single pitcher he's seen this year -- whether they're brand new to him or not. So maybe nothing will help and Sanchez will simply hit 80 more home runs before the season is out and break baseball.
