The New York Yankees and Toronto Blue Jays will close out their three-game MLB series today (September 28) at the Rogers Center.
Aaron Judge is on 60 home runs. The good news for Yankees fans is that they have clinched the American League East and have a first-round bye in the playoffs.
"What's poppin'?" - @Yankees
Pitching in this one is Gerrit Cole for the Yankees and Mitch White for the Blue Jays.
This should be Cole's penultimate start of the season. He has allowed four runs in three consecutive starts; this is not where New York wants him entering the playoffs. Cole was terrible in the postseason last year and can't play like that again if New York wants a shot at the crown.
White, meanwhile, has not been consistent this season. However, his struggles can be attributable to him getting bounced between the majors and triple-A, and the Blue Jays not defining his role. He has spent time starting and in the bullpen. Nevertheless, he has shown promise and has great potential.

New York Yankees vs Toronto Blue Jays Best Picks
I'm giving this bet one more shot. Judge has been letting bettors down for a week; we've been waiting on 61 for over a week now. This is Judge's second longest home run cold streak of the season.
In September, he went nine games without hitting a dinger, and he's in danger of topping that streak. The walks he's taking are helping, but sooner or later, that long ball has to come.

New York Yankees vs Toronto Blue Jays Prediction
The Yankees are on a roll; they are hot and will look to carry that momentum into the playoffs. Cole has two starts to get back on trac;, there will be concerns if he doesn't pick up a win here. Cole knows the situation, and bettors can expect him to step up here.
