Prediction published on 9/5/25, 3:55 PM  by Lou Aguila | Modified on 2/3/26 at 7:05 AM in MLB Picks

The Toronto Blue Jays have beaten the New York Yankees in six of their last seven meetings.

Will the Yankees finally get the better of the Blue Jays in this crucial series beginning Friday at Yankee Stadium?

Current Form:

The Yankees, who are 9-2 in their last 11 games, are the favorites at -134. New York compiled a 16-12 record in August and has won 2 of their first 3 games in September to bump their record up to 78-62, three games behind the 81-59 Blue Jays in the AL East standings. The Yankees have averaged 5.7 runs per game on a .240 batting average while commanding an elite 3.40 ERA in their last five games.

The Blue Jays took the last two games in their series with the Cincinnati Reds this week to stay in front of the Yankees in the AL East title race. After scoring 25 runs in the last two games, Toronto improves to 7.8 runs per game while batting .326 across their last five games. Toronto’s pitching form has been a little disappointing, though. Over the same five-game stretch, the Blue Jays have posted a 5.28 ERA and 1.49 WHIP - significantly higher than their season numbers of 4.29 ERA and 1.26 WHIP.
