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

Prediction published on 9/6/25, 9:22 AM  by Lou Aguila in MLB Picks

The Yankees just can’t beat the Blue Jays right now.

Seeking their eighth win in nine games against the New York Yankees, the Toronto Blue Jays emerge as a tempting +134 underdog option ahead of Saturday’s Game 2 at Yankee Stadium.

Current Form:

The Yankees are now 1-7 in their last 8 games against the Blue Jays following Friday’s 1-7 loss at home. New York, which entered the final regular-season series with Toronto averaging 5.0 runs per game, only scored one run while going 4 for 30 at the plate in Game 1. Starting Cam Schlittler surrendered four earned runs in the first two innings of the game. The Yankees' bullpen, which is giving up a 6.00 ERA in the last five games, continued to falter as it allowed two more runs in the final two innings. As a result, the Yankees have dropped to third in the AL East standings with a 78-63 record. Boston holds the same 78-63 record but still overtakes the Yankees for the No.2 spot in the AL East because of a tiebreaker.

Meanwhile, the Blue Jays have tightened their grip on the No.1 spot in the AL East with an 82-59 record after Friday night’s result. Over the last five games, Toronto has displayed its terrifying offensive firepower, averaging 9.0 runs per game on a .339 batting average. Toronto’s ERA of 4.67 over this five-game stretch is not far off the 4.26 ERA they have maintained all season long.
