The big games keep coming for the New York Yankees. A day after beating the Houston Astros in a three-game series, the Bronx Bombers have a golden opportunity against the AL East-leading Toronto Blue Jays. The Blue Jays are up by three games, so a couple of victories in either direction would be massive for either team. This has the feel of a playoff series, guaranteeing an entertaining affair to kick off the series tonight.
The starting rotation has been excellent for the Blue Jays this year, and Kevin Gausman, tonight's starter, has been the best of the bunch. The veteran has posted a 3.75 ERA and a 1.05 WHIP throughout his 27 starts this season, numbers that rank him among the best in the MLB in both categories. He is also very familiar with the Yankees, having faced them three times this season, first struggling and then putting together two solid performances. Toronto desperately needs another good appearance from him to help put the division away.
Opposing Gausman is someone who does not have anywhere near his amount of experience. Cam Schlittler has made a grand total of nine starts in his big league career, but the results of his work have been encouraging. His 2.61 ERA is fantastic, while his 1.24 WHIP lags behind a little bit. His start against the Jays was a decent one, with Schlittler holding a very dangerous lineup to two runs over five innings. The youngster has his work cut out for him against an opposing starter who is ten years his senior.

Blue Jays vs Yankees Prediction and Pick
A quick look at the odds would confuse most fans. The Blue Jays have a far more experienced pitcher on the hill and an offense that is just as potent as New York's. However, the Yankees have been red hot lately, winning nine of their last 11 games. An important note is that six of those wins came against the Washington Nationals and the Chicago White Sox, two of the worst teams in the league.
Toronto is not a comparable team to those two, making it a bit of a surprise that the odds on the money line look the way they do. There is value in betting on the Blue Jays and their more experienced pitching, even if they are on the road.
