Yankees vs Blue Jays Prediction
I’m on the Yankees here. I do like Toronto’s prospects in this series after and to still win the division this season, but Kevin Gausman has really struggled at Yankee Stadium in the last couple of years. The Yankees are swinging a really hot bat right now. Toronto is as well, but I think the Yankees get it done here. Give me New York.
