Toronto Blue Jays vs New York Yankees Prediction

Cease has been fantastic this season with a 2.41 ERA and 1.18 WHIP through 52.1 innings, but it doesn’t matter if the Blue Jays continue to lose on the road. Warren has also been respectable with his 3.42 ERA and 1.16 WHIP through 47.1 innings. The Yankees have just been more consistent and the price is reasonable. I’m not stepping in front of the Yankees, especially with the Blue Jays’ struggles on the road this season.
