Yankees vs Blue Jays Prediction

The current betting odds have the Blue Jays listed as an underdog in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Blue Jays have looked great in their games this season with their 59-41 record overall which has them right at the top of the AL East. They have looked great in their own ballpark too with their 36-16 home record this season. Meanwhile, the Yankees have looked really good in their games this season with their 55-45 record overall which has them right near the top of the AL East. They haven't been a good road team though with their 25-26 road record this season. The Yankees have also been in a big slump lately. They are starting to pull themselves out of it as they are now 6-4 in their last 10 games, but the Blue Jays are still 7-3 in their last 10 games and have been red hot. They are also going to have a solid starter on the mound here with Bassitt starting in this one. He is 10-4 with a 3.89 ERA and hasn't been giving up many runs lately. He is coming off another great start in which he gave up no runs and his team has won 3 of their last 4 games with him starting too. The Yankees are going with Fried in this one and he has also looked great this season. He is 11-3 with a 2.43 ERA, but lately he has been giving up more runs in his starts. He is coming off a start in which he gave up 3 earned runs, something that has become a common theme for him in his last few starts, and even the team has lost 2 of their last 3 games with him starting. The Blue Jays are rolling right now, already taking the 1st game of this series, and they will be looking to stay ahead in the AL East with another series win here. The best way to place a bet here is on the Blue Jays to win this game.
