Yankees at Blue Jays picks and predictions
Prediction
Yankees 5, Blue Jays 2
Moneyline
BET YANKEES (-105).
While Toronto is on a 4 game-winning streak, this game will be a battle between the pitchers. Stroman has pitched well this season, but has seen minimal offense in his appearances, while Gausman has been rocked in his previous 2 starts, including a 9-8 loss against New York. NY has scored 4 or more runs in 3 of its last 4 games including 7 or more in 2 of its last 4. With Stroman on the mound, if NY can create scoring opportunities, they have a chance to take a road win from division rivals.
Run line/Against the spread
PASS.
The moneyline is a better opportunity for profit.
Over/Under
BET UNDER 8.5 (-115).
New York has held opponents to 3 or fewer runs in 6 of its last 9 games and has hit the Under in 5 of its last 8. Toronto has hit the Under in 3 of its last 4 games and has scored 4 or fewer runs in 3 of its last 6.
