Yankees vs Blue Jays Prediction 
Toronto has picked up two huge wins to start this series and they will look to make it three in a row over the Yankees here. The Blue Jays are 27-16 at home this season, while the Yankees are 22-20 on the road. New York has allowed at least five runs in four straight games, but they are starting Warren, who has allowed two earned runs or fewer in three of his last four starts. The Blue Jays are starting Berrios, who has allowed one earned run or fewer in four of his last five outings. Toronto has the pitching advantage with Berrios on the mound and they have all of the momentum, so I like the Blue Jays to win again.
