After a 6 game losing streak it seems like Toronto is refocused as they are now 5-1 since. The Yankees absolutly decimated the Blue Jays while they were in their slump but when it came time for the two teams to collide again the results were flipped aside from the single loss in the series. Now the Blue Jays have defeated Baltimore yesterday 5-10, although this game should be closer I'm still gonna go with Toronto.
