Heading into Sunday’s series finale between New York and Toronto, I recommend taking the Yankees to pull off the sweep. In yesterday’s matchup, New York took down the Blue Jays’ best starter in Alek Manoah and should have an even easier time against Yusei Kikuchi. Look for the Yankees to cover the runline.
