New York Yankees vs. Toronto Blue Jays Prediction

I’m on the Blue Jays in this one. Cam Schlittler is still one of the better options the Yankees have, but he’s had issues with the Jays at times in his career and Toronto’s woken up in a big way in the last week or so. I think Toronto can get to Schlittler, and I think Toronto gets another huge win here. Give me the Jays.
