New York Yankees vs. Toronto Blue Jays Prediction

I’m on the Yankees here. I get the case to be made for the Jays as a home underdog, but the thing here is that the Jays have definitely cooled off in recent games when it comes to their form against left-handed pitching and Max Fried is one of the best lefties in the game. Kevin Gausman’s been getting hit hard as of late and I think that he could get tagged here as well against a Yankees team that’s had his number in the past. Give me New York in this one.
