Blue Jays vs Yankees Prediction
New York was able to bounce back from their shutout loss on Saturday with a big win on Sunday to win the series, but they will be on the road here. The Yankees are 22-18 on the road this year, while the Blue Jays are 25-16 at home. Toronto has scored at least five runs in three of their last four games, but they will face Rodon, who has allowed three earned runs or fewer in four of his last five starts. New York will go against Scherzer, who has allowed five earned runs and nine hits over 8.0 innings this year. I don’t trust Scherzer at all in this situation, so give me the Yankees to win.
