Yankees vs Blue Jays Prediction

I’ll take a stab on the Blue Jays here. We should have a pretty good starter matchup if both guys are on point, though. Kikuchi has given up just one earned over his last two starts in 11.1 innings. He’s yet to win a Game in three tries, though. As for Rodon, he’s surrendered just three earned in 15.2 total innings of work this year.

On Monday Toronto was able to beat up Gil for seven walks which helped immensely in the victory. Granted, there wasn’t much going on at the plate otherwise for the Jays. Alejandro Kirk posted two hits, one RBI and a run, though. Toronto will likely play another tight one here but I think they’ve got a good shot at a second W in this set.
