noti.group’s experts make their predictions on the Yankees-Blue Jays ALDS series which begins Saturday in Toronto:
Jon Heyman
The Yankees are a better team now than the version that went 5-8 vs. the Jays in the regular season.
Yankees in 5
Greg Joyce
The Yankees beat themselves plenty against the Blue Jays this season, but their defense is much improved now.
Cam Schlittler for another clincher?
Yankees in 4
Dan Martin
The Yankees lost eight of 13 games to the Blue Jays this season — and six of seven in Toronto — but the Blue Jays are banged up and haven’t had any postseason success in nearly a decade.

Mark W. Sanchez
Home-field advantage matters, as does being rested and able to align your starting rotation.

Joel Sherman

Mike Vaccaro
I think every game of this series is going to be a blast to watch, and I think every game is going to come down to a simple question: Who’s at home?
The Jays have the extra home game. That’ll be just enough.
