Blue Jays vs Yankees Prediction
The Yankees are always worth a look given their talent, but I have a hard time getting behind Schlittler and his small sample size. Schlittler has pitched just 5.1 MLB innings, and he wasn’t great against the Mariners. Scherzer is a shell of himself at 40 years old and is no longer the automatic bet he was for over a decade. However, the Blue Jays are rolling, and they’ve been a team we’ve backed a lot over this winning stretch. I’m not going to stop now. Give me the Blue Jays for yet another win.
