Blue Jays vs Yankees Prediction
It’s hard not to side with the Blue Jays after what we saw in game 1, as it got ugly quickly. While every game is its own beast, a carry-over effect is a real thing. The players are confident, and the fans are buzzing. The Yankees have to strike quickly to steal back some momentum. With that said, Yesavage is a 22-year-old who has just 14 MLB innings under his belt, and now he’s in the playoffs against the Yankees.
I have no idea how Yesavage will handle the nerves, and I’m not a fan of laying dollars on so much unknown. The Yankees have to win this game to have a real shot of winning the series. Fried is a veteran pitcher who has not only been great this season, but just held his own against the Red Sox in the playoffs. The Yankees have the more trustworthy pitcher on the mound. I’ll lean Yanks to even things up.
