Yankees vs Blue Jays Prediction 

New York comes into this doubleheader with the home-field advantage, but they have struggled in their last few games. The Yankees are 8-5 at home this year, while the Blue Jays are 5-8 on the road. Toronto is struggling to score runs once again this season, but its pitching staff has been very good through 26 games. In game one of this doubleheader, I think Fried and the Yankees have the advantage. In game two, I don’t like how Schmidt has looked through two outings, while Bassitt has been very good. Take the Yankees to win game one and the Blue Jays to win game two.
