Yankees at Blue Jays 6/5/18 - MLB Picks & Predictions

AL East Division foes will clash on Tuesday night, when the New York Yankees and Toronto Blue Jays open up a series from Rogers Centre. On Monday, the Yankees split a doubleheader in Detroit. New York took the opener behind a solid pitching performance from Luis Severino. The Yankees are 20 games above .500 overall and in a virtual tie with Boston for the division lead.

Thirty-four year old righty Marco Estrada (2-6 5.68 ERA) will take the mound for the Blue Jays in this matchup. In his last 14 starts versus the Yankees, Estrada is 6-3 with a 3.86 ERA.

Toronto 3B Josh Donaldson (calf) is expected to return from the disabled list on Friday. Through 56 games, New York ranks 5th in batting average and 2nd in runs scored. For the season, Toronto ranks 28th in batting average and 10th in runs scored. Sanchez has pitched well against the Yankees in the past and that gives the Blue Jays some value in the opener. Final Score Prediction, Toronto Blue Jays win in upset 6-4.
