Blue Jays Set to Take Advantage of Weakened Yankees Bullpen in Series Opener

I am optimistic about the Toronto Blue Jays' recent performance against the Mariners and Rockies, as they have gained momentum heading into their upcoming series against the New York Yankees. New York's bullpen was weakened after a tough loss in extra innings on Sunday, setting them at a disadvantage for Monday's game. With Gil on the mound, who has struggled to pitch five full innings this season, the Blue Jays have a promising opportunity to capitalize on their strong pitching performance led by Jose Berrios on Sunday. Bassitt, who excelled at Rogers Centre in 2023, is expected to continue his successful performance in Monday's game. Given the favorable odds, I recommend betting on the Blue Jays to win in the series opener against the Yankees.
