- Analysis
- We won with the streaking Toronto Blue Jays last night, as I loved them to keep their winning streak going against the visiting New York Yankees.
A 5-4 victory cashed us in, and the Jays have now won fourt straight overall, and three in a row when hosting the Yankees. Today, in the series finale, I love the two to get into a slugfest.
Since opening the season 4-6 and hitting .193, the Jays are 6-2 and hitting .276 while averaging 4.1 runs per game. During the eight-game stretch, though, the Jays have scored five runs five times.
The Yankees, meanwhile, have lost three in a row and aren't about to let this series slip their hands. They've yet to be swept this season, and I think it'll be an offense that is averaging 5.2 runs per game over its last 10 outings that will be out to chase Toronto's Kevin Gausman early.
I don't like to bash pitchers, much, but Gausman is showing his true colors early on, going 0-2 with an 11.57 ERA early on.
Three of the last four meetings have gone over, so I'm looking for this one to go high.
