Toronto Blue Jays vs New York Yankees Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 05/18/26

The struggling New York Yankees will look to reset after a brutal 2-7 road trip as they finally return home to open a series against the Toronto Blue Jays. Toronto has gone 5-5 over its last 10 games and is hoping to find more consistency offensively in this matchup. The Yankees will hand the ball to the left-hander, Ryan Weathers, who is 2-2 with a 3.00 ERA this season. For the Blue Jays, the lefty Patrick Corbin will get the nod, entering at 1-1 with a 3.93 ERA. 

Offensively, neither team has been particularly sharp lately. The Yankees are averaging 3.7 runs per game while batting .214 in their last 10 games compared to the Blue Jays 4.1 runs per game and hitting .207 in that same stretch. One thing working in New York’s favor is its success against left-handed pitching this season, as the Yankees lead the league batting .238 against southpaws compared to Toronto’s .222. mark. However, pitching has been a major concern for New York recently. The Yankees own a 4.15 ERA over their last 10 games, while Toronto holds a 2.85 ERA during that span. Given the Yankees recent struggles and the steep price attached to them in this matchup, I can’t trust them. White Toronto hasn’t exploded offensively, they’ve still looked more consistent than New York lately and should be able to keep this game close in the Bronx as the Yankees bullpen struggles continue.
