The New York Yankees (94-59) and Toronto Blue Jays (87-67) clash Tuesday as they continue a 3-game series at Rogers Centre. First pitch will be at 7:07 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the Yankees vs. Blue Jays odds with MLB picks and predictions.
Season series: New York leads 9-8
New York had a 7-game win streak snapped in a 3-2, 10-inning loss to Toronto in Monday’s series opener. A Yankee offense that had cranked out a robust .878 OPS over its previous 13 games was held to 2 runs on 6 hits and struck out 14 times.
The Blue Jays won their 3rd straight game Monday, and the club has allowed just 4 combined runs along the way. Toronto had a couple of shaky home series in mid-August, but the Jays are now 8-4 over their last 12 games in their home yard.

Yankees at Blue Jays picks and predictions
Prediction
Blue Jays 4, Yankees 3
Money line
Peg this one as a true pick ’em, so it’s priced the right way. Consider a line watch, and be ready to grab Toronto at +110 or better, but PASS until such a price. But the best play for this one likely lies in the O/U action.
Run line/Against the spread
STEER CLEAR. The extra juice here cuts into any potential value.
Over/Under
The Under has hit in 4 straight series matchups.
Taillon has been sharp most of the season and has been of late. He’s had good, consistent turns against the Blue Jays all season. Berrios is better at home (3.98 ERA) and for the season has been undone by a .326 batting average on balls in play.
The price here is a workable one. BACK THE UNDER 7.5 (-102).
