Blue Jays at Yankees picks and predictions
Prediction
Yankees 5, Blue Jays 4
Money line
Manoah has been allowing more frequent and harder contact of late. The Toronto offense has a bit of a blind spot against southpaws (10-13 vs. left-handed starters).
The Yanks have certainly been struggling, but New York -120 is a value play. So, look for a possible price swing. In the meantime NEW YORK (-125) is worth a partial-unit play.

Run line/Against the spread
PASS. A lot of juice is drowning out potential here.
Over/Under
Fading both starters and some tired arms in the bullpens: BACK THE OVER 7.5 (-107).
