The Yankees' euphoria at defeating the Red Sox in the Wild Card playoff series quickly faded, as they lost to the Blue Jays in Toronto in the first game of a five-game series by a 1-10 thrashing. For the Jays, Gausman started Game 1, surviving the Yankees' bases-loaded jam in the sixth inning, when he struck out Judge with the bases loaded and no outs, swinging at a pitch.
Judge batted leadoff on Saturday, and while some die-hard Yankees fans continue to claim that the skipper doesn't respond in climactic moments like the one in which he struck out, the truth is that Judge has already had six hits this postseason.
For the Jays, the party started early, with a huge home run by Vlad Jr. to take a 1-0 lead in the bottom of the first inning. Kirk emulated him the following inning with a home run to left field, the first of two he had on the day. Guerrero had three hits in addition to brilliant defensive plays; Giménez, Varsho, Kirk, and Luke each had two, as the Jays doubled the Yankees' hits in the first game of the series.

Our New York Yankees vs Toronto Blue Jays Prediction
Even with big names in the bullpen, Aaron Boone has repeatedly struggled to get that part of his team to get the outs. The latest to give him trouble was Luke Weaver; Boone, against the Red Sox and Saturday against the Jays, brought Weaver into close situations and allowed five runs. Then, one inning later, Blackburn's pitches also fell short, leaving the Yankees with no chance of a comeback.
The momentum is all Toronto's, playing in front of a loyal crowd that was noisy throughout the game. The odds, however, have shifted their favoritism toward the Yankees; Boone will force his best pitcher, Fried, to pitch 6.1 innings of solid work against the Red Sox on Sunday for the Wild Card Series, a game the Yanks lost 1-3.
The Jays' bats also seem to be Fried's kryptonite; the left-hander has made three starts against Toronto this season, the last on September 7 in the Bronx, and in each of them Fried allowed three ER or more.
Our prediction for Blue Jays vs Yankees is: Blue Jays +1.5.
