Toronto Blue Jays vs New York Yankees Match Prediction 05 October 2025
Kevin Gausman is very familiar with this Yankees lineup. His career ERA against them is 3.67, which is steady but not perfect. Aaron Judge and Giancarlo Stanton have hit him for ten home runs, which shows that even great pitchers can be hit. They are still just two bats in a nine-man order. Warren has a hard job to do across the diamond. His shaky walk rate and low strikeout numbers don't go well with a Toronto lineup that is all about patience and making contact. With a batting average of.265 and an on-base percentage of.333, the Blue Jays have the best numbers in the majors. They also strike out the least of any team in baseball. Gausman is the one who will start this game for Toronto. If he can control his fastball and splitter well, he can shut down the Bronx bats and set the tone for the series. The edge is on Toronto's side on paper, and another strong performance from Gausman could make that advantage count.
