Toronto Blue Jays vs NY Yankees Prediction

I’m on the over here. Both Rodon and Berrios have shown signs of regression in their last couple of starts, and I think the Yankees with that potent lineup get to Berrios but I also think Toronto, whose offense started to show signs of life in that Boston series, can do some damage against Rodon and the porous Yankee bullpen. Give me the over here.
