Toronto Blue Jays vs New York Yankees Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 09/06/25

The Toronto Blue Jays and New York Yankees continue their huge AL East showdown in the Bronx on Saturday afternoon. The Blue Jays won 7-1 on Friday night, and they have a chance to bury the Yankees in the divisional race if they keep going in this series. Make no mistake about it—the Blue Jays are legitimate contenders, and they have been led by a young offense. The key has been that the bottom part of the order has started hitting in the second half, which means you can’t work around Bichette and Vlad (who, by the way, went a combined 7 of 8 on Friday). The Yankees are, as usual, favored on Saturday, but the Blue Jays are the better team in general, and I love catching plus money with the better team. Give me the Blue Jays on Saturday afternoon.

The pitching matchup is Chris Bassitt vs Luis Gil. I expect both starters to be effective. Bassitt has turned in 6 straight consistent, useable starts for the Jays, and he has beaten the Yankees twice already this season. Gil has now made 6 starts since returning from the IL, if you throw out the first one, he has gone 5+ innings with 2 runs or less in each of them. So this game should come down to the bullpens, both of which are shaky at times. The Blue Jays, however, did not use any bullpen arms in Friday’s win, so all their best arms are available. The Yankees had to use Leiter and Doval, plus there is the Devin Williams thing going on, so I want to fade this bullpen when I can. In an otherwise even matchup, I like the plus money with the better team.
