Yankees Poised to Dominate Blue Jays in Upcoming Game

The New York Yankees have shown strong performance in their recent road games, winning three out of their last five matches. They have demonstrated impressive offensive capabilities by scoring a total of 16 runs in their last three road games. This trend is expected to continue in their upcoming game due to their success against right-hand pitchers and Kevin Gausman's recent struggles on the mound, where he has allowed 13 runs in his last three starts. The Blue Jays, on the other hand, have won three of their last five games and scored 13 runs in their last three matches. However, they are likely to face difficulties in their offensive performance in the upcoming game as they have struggled against right-handed pitchers and Marcus Stroman has been effective for the Yankees, allowing only seven runs in three starts. Furthermore, New York has a strong bullpen, ranked fourth in the league, which will likely limit Toronto's scoring opportunities. Based on these factors, it is advisable to choose the New York Yankees to cover the money line in this game.
