Blue Jays vs Yankees Prediction 

Toronto looked like they were going to run away with game three and complete the series sweep on Tuesday, but New York woke up and scored nine runs in the win. The Blue Jays have a very high scoring offense, but they have allowed 16 runs in their last two games and they used quite a few pitchers last night. New York finally has some momentum in this series and Schlittler pitched a gem against Boston in the Wild Card round. I am concerned about the Toronto pitching plan for this game, so give me the Yankees to get another win here.
