Prediction

Yankees 10, Blue Jays 3

Money line (ML)

The Yankees (-209) are more than 2-to-1 favorites for the series finale. That’s just too much chalk and I don’t like that kind of risk. PASS.

New to sports betting? Every winning $2.09 bet on the Yankees ML will profit $1. Every $1 bet on the Blue Jays (+185) profits $1.85 if they win.

Run line/Against the spread (ATS)

The YANKEES (-1.5, -110) are the STRONGEST PLAY.  Only one of the five regular-season meetings between the two was decided by 1 run. Two were won by 5 runs apiece, while the most recent two were double-digit blowouts.

The Yankees are 28-21 vs. the RL this season, including 17-10 at home. The Blue Jays (+1.5, -110) are 24-24 vs. the RL overall and 15-12 on the road.

We cashed on the Yankees RL Wednesday. Let’s do it again Thursday (Strongest plays should be 1½ times your usual wager.)

Over/Under (O/U)

The OVER 9.5 (-110) is worthy of a small play – which should be half your usual wager. During their current seven-game win streak, the Yankees are batting .301 and averaging 8.7 runs per game.

The Toronto Blue Jays (26-21) and New York Yankees (27-21) play the middle game of a three-game set at Yankee Stadium Wednesday at 7:05 p.m. ET. Below, we analyze the Blue Jays-Yankees MLB betting odds and lines, with picks and best bets.

Tuesday: The Yankees crushed the Jays 20-6 behind 5 RBIs apiece from 2B DJ LeMahieu (4-for-6) and 1B Luke Voit (2 HRs). New York, which took over second place in the AL East with 12 games to go, led 7-1 after two innings, 12-1 after three and 16-3 after four.

Season series: Tied 2-2.

Blue Jays at Yankees: Projected starting pitchers

RHP Tanner Roark vs. RHP Gerrit Cole

Roark is 2-1 with a 5.60 ERA (35 1/3 IP, 22 ER) in 8 starts this season.

• Last start: No-decision, 4 IP, 2 ER, 2 H, 3 BB, 3 K, 2 HR vs. Yankees Sept. 9 – Blue Jays lost 7-2
• Career vs. Yankees: 1-1, 3.86 ERA (16 1/3 IP, 7 ER) in 3 starts, including just 1 game in 2020 – last start mentioned above

Cole is 5-3 with a 3.20 ERA (59 IP, 21 ER) with 79 K in 10 starts.

• Last start: Win, 7 IP (CG), 0 ER, 2 H, 1 BB, 9 K vs. Baltimore Orioles Friday – Yankees won 6-0 in Game 1 of DH
• 2020 at Yankee Stadium: 3-1, 2.27 ERA (31 2/3 IP, 8 ER) in 5 starts
• Career vs. Blue Jays: 1-0, 4.91 ERA (11 IP, 6 ER) in 2 starts; last outing a win in 2019 while pitching for the Houston Astros

MLB odds courtesy of BetMGM; access USA TODAY Sports for a full list. Odds last updated at 7:55 a.m. ET.

Prediction

Yankees 6, Blue Jays 1

Money line (ML)

The Yankees (-278) are big favorites with Cole coming off a seven-inning, two-hit, shutout. Plus, DH/OF Giancarlo Stanton and 3B Gio Urshela are back, activated off the injured list before Tuesday’s rout. But I can’t suggest to bet that kind of chalk. It’s just not wise as far as risk management goes.

To profit $1 on a Yankees ML play, one must bet $2.78 (or $278 to win $100), while a winning $1 Blue Jays (+240) ML bet profits $2.40. PASS.

Run line/Against the spread (ATS)

The YANKEES (-1.5, -125) are the STRONGEST PLAY. All five of Cole’s victories have been by 3 or more runs. He has a 2.50 ERA in his last three starts (18 IP, 5 ER), which spells doom for the Jays (+1.5, +105).

Meanwhile, Toronto’s Roark has yielded 10 earned runs in his last three starts (13 1/3 IP) for a 6.75 ERA. (Strongest plays should be 1½ times your usual wager.)

Over/Under (O/U)

The O/U is 8.5 (-110 on both sides). Cole will shut down Toronto’s offense, but I’m leery of New York’s bats hitting the Over on their own. I’ll PASS.

I miserably failed you Tuesday with my suggestions of Toronto (+140) and a “strongest play” of the Under (closed at 9) as New York squashed both in the 20-6 rout. Thus, I’m pinpointing just one Wednesday play – let’s bounce back with the YANKEES (-1.5, -125) run line.

MLB odds courtesy of BetMGM; access USA TODAY Sports for a full list. Odds last updated at 5 a.m. ET.

Prediction

Blue Jays 5, Yankees 3

Money line (ML)

The BLUE JAYS (+140) are the play, despite losing to Garcia last week. There’s decent value in +140 for a line that should be closer. I’ll take my chances with the up-and-coming Jays, against a Yankees squad (-154) still missing Judge and Stanton.

New to sports betting? Every winning $1 bet on the Blue Jays ML will profit $1.40, whereas it will take $1.54 to win $1 on the Yankees ML.

Run line/Against the spread (ATS)

PASS. Both teams are above .500 vs. the RL this season. The Yankees (-1.5, +125) are 26-21; the Blue Jays (+1.5, -154) are 24-22.

Of the three games the two played last week, only one was a one-run final. Toronto took the first two, 12-7 and 2-1, respectively, while New York won the finale 7-2.

Over/Under (O/U)

The UNDER 9.5 (-110) is the STRONGEST PLAY. The pitching matchup, along with both clubs missing some big bats, points to an Under. New York is 20-23-4 O/U on the season and 11-12-2 at home. Toronto is 20-23-3 O/U and 9-14-2 on the road.  (Strongest plays should be 1½ times your usual wager.)
