Blue Jays vs Yankees prediction: How to watch MLB live? Blue Jays vs Yankees live stream

The Toronto Blue Jays will lock horns with the New York Yankees on the Opening Day of the 2021 MLB season on Thursday, April 1 at the Yankee Stadium. The first of the three-game series between the two teams is scheduled to kick off at 1:05 PM ET (10:35 PM IST). Here's a look at the Blue Jays vs Yankees live stream details and our Blue Jays vs Yankees prediction for the highly-anticipated game. 

Blue Jays vs Yankees preview

The Yankees finished last year’s pandemic-shortened campaign with a 33-27 record, seven games behind the division-leading Rays, whom they faced in a neutral-site AL Division Series. However, Aaron Boone will be hoping to end the Yankees' wait for a World Series title since 2009. They will be hoping to kickstart their campaign on a positive note at their home stadium but will be aware of the threat the Blue Jays possess.

Meanwhile, the Toronto Blue Jays finished third in the AL East with a 32-28 record, eight games behind the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Manager Charlie Montoyo has been dealt with a few injuries to key players this season but will be eager to open the campaign with a victory against the Yankees away from home. Hyun Jin Ryu will make his second consecutive Opening Day start for the Blue Jays, and the club's undisputed ace might be the most important player on their roster.

Blue Jays vs Yankees prediction

As per out Blue Jays vs Yankees prediction, the Yankees are tipped as the favourites to come out on top in the MLB season opener.

Nevertheless, our prediction for the first game of the series is a narrow win for the Yankees. The two squads will rest on Friday and play on Saturday and Sunday to complete the three-game set.
