TOJ vs NEY Dream11 Match Prediction: Slumping New York Yankees will start a three-game away swing against Toronto Blue Jays from Wednesday morning. The first match in this mini-series will start at Sahlen Field, at 04:37 AM, Wednesday, June 16 (IST). Yankees continue to struggle despite the head coach and the staff trying to find positives in the team’s sorry performances and defeats. After losing 7-8 in game-1, the Yankees lost 0-7 in the series finale against the Philadelphia Phillies. There are no signs that MLB’s decorated outfit could come out of the rut anytime soon. There are reports that the Yankees hierarchy is looking to make some changes to the existing roster, possibly giving chance to minor-league players, in a bid to salvage the season. Toronto Blue Jays are also hopping from one positive result to negative. The game against the Boston Red Sox was exemplary of Jays recent run of results. The only positive to take for the team from the 1-2 defeat against the Sox was Vladimir Guerrero Jr. The 22-year-old continue to give the impression that we are witnessing the emergence of one of the true superstar of the game. Guerrero hit a game-tying home in the top of the ninth inning.

Both teams are inconsistent at the moment. In fact, there’s not much to differentiate between Toronto Blue Jays and New York Yankees, as both teams have felt elation and disappointments in abundance this season. But the Yankees’ slumping away form and the Jays’ slightly better home record makes the latter our pick for this game.
