New York Yankees vs Toronto Blue Jays Prediction & Picks - MLB

A classic AL East divisional matchup between the Yankees and Blue Jays greets Toronto fans on Friday night. Toronto has not been the same team as they were in 2023, dropping to the bottom of the division at 14.5 games behind the Yankees. But Toronto’s plight could be the result of a stacked section that includes World Series hopefuls New York and Baltimore, along with the overachieving Red Sox. The Yankees’s blistering pace has cooled off the last few series, as the Yankees are entering the weekend with just one win in their last seven tries. A 2-game interleague series against their city rivals the Mets didn’t go their way, and neither did a tough series against the Atlanta Braves. The Yankees have now allowed at least 3 runs in their last seven games, as well as allowing at least 7 in their last 11. Marcus Stroman will look to right the ship as the anticipated starter for the pinstripes on Friday, wearing his trademark no. 0.
