Blue Jays vs Yankees Prediction

The Yankees are coming into this game as a slight favorite with the current betting odds. They have been playing very well in their recent games as they have been winning a lot of their series and they have been a very good team at home this season. They are going up against a Blue Jays side that had a very hot start to the season but has cooled off a little and after losing their first series of the season to the Yankees a week ago, they have now lost another series in 4 games to the Guardians, not even getting the split there. They have a big problem with batting when there are runners in scoring positions and they keep leaving guys stranded on base in their games. They also have Kikuchi on the mound here and he has been awful this season, allowing a lot of runs in his starts with the Blue Jays losing every single game except for 1 that he has made an appearance in this season. The Yankees have been pitching much better recently and their offense is starting to heat up as well as they have been going on long win streaks now. The best bet here is on the Yankees to win this game as they will keep on rolling while the Blue Jays start to slump a little.

Notable Quotes

 
"They're terrible. Those balls were like they were right out of the box. Some were huge. Some were fluffy. They were all brand new white balls." - Alek Manoah on the baseballs after their loss against the Guardians on Sunday.
 
 
"Credit to Miller. I think (King) was trying to four-seamer up and in there and probably didn't get it to where he wanted to, but I don't think missed too bad with it, and Miller kind of sold out and got to it and caught him." - Aaron Boone after his team’s loss against the Rangers on Sunday.
