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 Blue Jays are currently leading this series 2-0 after winning both home games to start the series. Their pitching hasn't been great, but their offense has been and they have one of the best offenses in the MLB that also had a week off to rest. Meanwhile, the Yankees also have a great offense, but they haven't been hitting like the Blue Jays have been in these playoffs. The Yankees don't have a great bullpen either and they have been giving up quite a few runs in their games. Rodon is on the mound for the Yankees in this one and he has looked great all season. He is 18-9 with a 3.09 ERA, but lately he has been giving up more runs. The team has been having success with him lately as they have won 3 games in a row with him starting, but he did give up 3 earned runs against the Red Sox in the Wild Card Series. He had the offense on his side in that one, but those 3 earned runs could have been disastrous with the way their bullpen has pitched. Bieber is on the mound for the Blue Jays in this one and he has also looked good this season. He is 4-2 with a 3.57 ERA and he is making his first playoff start this year. He has looked really good to end the season, only giving up 2 earned runs in his last start which has been a common theme for him lately, and the team has won 4 of their last 5 games with him starting too. The Blue Jays have been rolling to start this series and they have all of the momentum with that red hot offense. The best way to place a bet here is on the Blue Jays to win this game.

Notable Quotes


“It's happened a lot, but that was the best. I was kind of joking with [Kevin] Gausman, Max [Scherzer], Biebs [Shane Bieber] and [pitching coach] Pete Walker like, ‘Wish me luck, I'm going out there.’ That was special for him to kind of have that moment.” - John Schneider after his team’s win against the Yankees in game 2 on Sunday.


“Obviously it feels like the world's caving in around you -- you lose two games like that in their building, where it doesn't go right. But, all of a sudden, you go out there and win a ballgame on Tuesday, the needle can change.” - Aaron Boone after his team’s loss against the Blue Jays in game 2 on Sunday.
