Toronto Blue Jays DFS SPIN
Alejandro Kirk had three hits on Friday, giving him five through the first two games of the series against the Yankees. Kirk’s average fell below .300 for a few days there, but he’s back up to .304 now. In spite of his lack of power of late, the Jays have continued to play him regularly and hit him third or fourth in the lineup. It’s where he belongs.
New York Yankees DFS SPIN
Pitching with the Yankees down 3-0, Aroldis Chapman walked two and was charged with a run while retiring just one batter against the Blue Jays on Friday. It looked like Chapman was going to be a threat for saves with Clay Holmes out, but that was before he walked four and gave up three runs over one inning in his last two appearances. Scott Effross seems likes the clear favorite for saves now.

Blue Jays vs. Yankees MLB BETTING PREDICTION
The Yankees have now dropped 13 of 16 overall, five of six division games and six of seven at home when facing an opponent with a winning record. They’re also 1-5 in their last six home games when facing an opponent starting a right-hander, are 1-4 in their last five games when playing the third game of a series and are 3-9 in their last 12 games coming off a loss. The Yankees are an absolute mess right now and with the Blue Jays receiving plus odds, there’s no reason not to take advantage of New York’s fall.
