My Prediction
New York Yankees by 2Ah, we've got quite the tangled ball of yarn here. The Toronto Blue Jays are flying south to duke it out with the New York Yankees at none other than the iconic Yankee Stadium. Up to bat first, we've got the Jays' starting pitcher, Jose Berrios, with a whopping 5.11 ERA with 1.45 WHIP, 7.7 K/9, under his belt this season. On the other side of the fence, Yankees' Carlos Carrasco has got his own respectable stats, a 6.68 ERA and 1.49 WHIP, and has been striking out 6.7 batters per nine innings. I mean, stats like these could surely put the crowd to sleep, if you know what I mean.
Now, let's not forget the big guns. For our northerly guests, we have George Springer, Bo Bichette, and Andres Gimenez. Springer and Bichette have proven to be pretty hot at the plate, and Gimenez, well, he may have to put a little more juice in his swing. But these guys can certainly play keep-up with Yankees' Aaron Judge, Paul Goldschmidt, and Jazz Chisholm Jr. Judge's recent batting average, as astounding as it is, surely makes him quite the gentleman at the party.
In the past, these teams have had quite the duel. That last game where the Blue Jays visiting the Yankees, oh that battle as heated as a hot dog on a summer day. But let's not forget about the records. The Blue Jays with 12 wins and 13 losses, and the Yankees with a slightly cherry on top at 15-10.
As for their most recent games, now the Blue Jays haven't exactly been having a ball, losing their last five games. The Yankees, meanwhile, have had a mixed bag of results but have been slightly fairing better, with at least a few wins under their belt.
This is all being played out in the seemingly neutral grounds of Yankee Stadium, where it's as fair for the pitchers as it is for the batters. Now, doesn’t that just set the stage!
Crunching all these details, and after consulting with my magic crystal ball, here's the verdict -
