The Blue Jays split their series against the Yankees, taking the final game on Friday. They won 2-0, blanking the Yankees despite Toronto opting for a bullpen game. The Rogers-Hoffman duo worked well. Rogers escaped a jam by inducing a double play grounder from Judge. Hoffman recorded the final three outs, earning his fourth save since April 20.
With that victory secured, the reigning American League champions leave the Big Apple and return to Rogers Centre, where they will face the Pirates. Toronto is favored at -165 in that game, but despite their losing record, they have more wins than losses at home.
The pitching matchup is intriguing; Kevin Gausman continues to be a natural strikeout artist, with 53 strikeouts in 57.1 innings pitched this season, and he has yet to issue 10 walks. He pitched a six-inning shutout in his last game. Bubba Chandler wants to make amends for a shaky start to 2026 with his Pirates, but Pittsburgh continues to have faith in his undeniable talent.

Our Toronto Blue Jays vs Pittsburgh Pirates Prediction
Chandler is a resilient fastball that can average 100 mph throughout the game. However, his other pitches don't fool hitters as much as he'd like. His fastball, while incredibly fast, tends to stay high. We've seen Chandler complicate things for himself in certain innings, loading the bases with walks.
As for the Jays, their history shows they are a reliable team to bet on at home when they are favored in the odds of the game; in that case, their record has been 10-5.
Our prediction for Blue Jays vs Pirates is: Blue Jays ML.
