Blue Jays vs Yankees prediction

Kevin Gausman is probably the Blue Jay’s best starting pitcher, and he was solid in his season debut. The Blue Jays offense has had issues getting off the canvas to start the season. The Yankees have been shutout in 2 of their last 3 games. Based on the way the bats have been cold this week, I’m going to lean toward the under. The under has hit in each of the last 3 games between the Blue Jays and Yankees. Give me the under 7 runs.
