Toronto Blue Jays vs. New York Yankees Prediction
I’m on the Blue Jays here. I think Cease has been Toronto’s ace to this point and while Toronto folded in the later stages of Monday’s opener, they gave the Yankees a headache and I think they’ll be able to battle here as well. Warren’s lone start against Toronto was a disaster, and I think that the Jays get to him and even up this series. Give me the Blue Jays.
