Blue Jays vs Yankees Prediction
The current betting odds have the Blue Jays listed as an underdog in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Yankees have looked really good in their games this season with their 78-62 record overall which has them right near the top of the AL East. They have also looked great in their own ballpark this year with their 41-28 home record. Meanwhile, the Blue Jays have looked great in their games this season with their 81-59 record overall which has them right at the top of the AL East. They haven't been a great road team though with their 36-35 road record this season. The Yankees have been rolling in their games lately as they are 8-2 in their last 10, but the Blue Jays have been putting up a ton of runs lately and they have an offense that can go toe-to-toe with the Yankees. Gil is on the mound for the Yankees in this one and he has looked good this season. He is 2-1 with a 3.68 ERA, but he hasn't been a solid starter for the Yankees. He only gave up 2 earned runs in his last start, but he has been up and down all season and the team has lost 2 of their last 3 games with him starting too. The Blue Jays are going with Scherzer in this one and he hasn't looked great this season. He is 5-2 with a 4.11 ERA and has been giving up more runs this year, but he is a solid veteran starter and has looked a lot better lately. He did give up 4 earned runs in his last start, but he will be looking to bounce back with a better performance and the team has still won 4 games in a row now with him starting. The Yankees have been rolling lately, but this isn't a strong starter for them and the Blue Jays offense can take advantage of that so there is value with the Blue Jays as the underdog in a tight division race right now. The best way to place a bet here is on the Blue Jays to win this game.

Notable Quotes
“I think to me, the key at-bat was George. After we're down five, that was an unbelievable swing to hit it out to dead center, and he's been doing it all year. And I'll say it now, I think he deserves MVP consideration. I don't want to put the cart before the horse, but I mean this dude’s hitting over .300 with 27 [homers], [72] RBIs and [.956] OPS. This guy’s playing his [butt] off.” - John Schneider after his team’s win against the Reds in their game on Wednesday.
"I thought he threw great today. With all those righties, I thought he used his changeup so well, and he had a good fastball to go with it. I thought he was really good even deep into the outing. I thought he was almost getting sharper.” - Aaron Boone after his team’s win against the Astros in their game on Thursday.
