Toronto Blue Jays at New York Yankees Prediction

Despite their recent slump, the New York Yankees are still the favorite to pick up the win over Toronto. Luckily, the Yankees might not need a lot of offense with Gerrit Cole on the mound. Cole has given up just 1 run over his last 2 games (13 innings). I like the Yankees to come up the win and recommend taking them on the moneyline.
