Yankees vs Blue Jays Prediction
The Blue Jays are fighting for their playoff lives and need all of the wins they can get. This is why Soriano was brought to Toronto, and since coming over from the Angels, he’s allowed 17 hits and 5 earned runs in 16.1 innings. The Blue Jays are 3-0 with Soriano on the bump. Rodon has pitched just once since July and has just 50.1 innings this season overall. I need a larger sample size and more consistent reps. Give me the Blue Jays and the plus money on Sunday afternoon.
