Run line/Against the spread
BACK NEW YORK -1.5 (+110). Toronto’s offense has been better against righties, and the New York pen is in good shape.
Over/Under
Leaning into preseason projections, a hot New York offense, a currently undervalued Toronto offense, and a fade-Kikuchi-pitching angle in this series finale, TAKE THE OVER 8.5 (-107).
