The Blue Jays’ Alek Manoah takes the mound in this game, making his 13th appearance of the season. Over 75.2 innings of work, he’s 8-1 with a 1.67 ERA, a 0.912 WHIP, 14 walks, and 68 strikeouts. Manoah won his last start, which was against the Orioles at home on Monday.

New York Yankees vs Toronto Blue Jays. The MLB pick for this game is the New York Yankees. Manoah was unbeatable at Rogers Center this season and throughout his career.
The Blue Jays’ difficulty is that they are up against a Yankees squad that won three-quarters of its games this season. The Bronx Bombers have no weak places in their lineup, and their pitching was outstanding all season. Taillon is having a fantastic season, and the Yankees’ run defense is outstanding.
Toronto’s bullpen had its issues, which might become a concern if Manoah retires. He keeps the Blue Jays in the game, but the Yankees’ offensive depth is the difference in this game, and they win. The New York Yankees will win to a predicted score of 5-4.
