Prediction published on 9/6/25, 9:22 AM  by Lou Aguila | Modified on 2/3/26 at 7:05 AM 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.
