Yankees vs Blue Jays prediction
The Yankees have been one of the best teams in the league over the first few weeks, and getting them at a cheap price feels like a steal. The Blue Jays have yet to string together success and Chris Bassitt hasn’t gotten off to a great start where he’s allowed 9 earned runs in 16 innings and walked 9. Luis Gil has allowed 3 hits and 3 runs through 9 innings this season. Pick ’em price, I have to side with the Yankees.
