Blue Jays at Yankees prediction and picks

Prediction

Yankees 5, Blue Jays 3

Money line

New York’s quality of contact has so far yielded just 3.50 runs per game. There is some value margin there, mostly due to New York’s issues in RBI situations.

The Yankees have good numbers against Gausman, who made the most of a pitcher’s yard for his home park in 2021 and some favorable rates around the margins. The front end of the Toronto bullpen is not lined up for an all-out assault here.

TAKE NEW YORK (-130).

Run line/Against the spread

Bettors may want to consider some split action, with a partial-unit play on the money line and a matching play here. NEW YORK -1.5 (+155) does add some risk, especially with a lean on an Under at 8.5. But the price is right.

Over/Under

PASS.

Toronto Blue Jays at New York Yankees odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Monday’s Blue Jays at Yankees odds and lines, with MLB expert picks and predictions.

The Toronto Blue Jays (3-1) and New York Yankees (2-2) continue their 4-game series Tuesday at Yankee Stadium. First pitch in the AL East battle is slated for 7:05 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the Blue Jays at Yankees odds with MLB picks and predictions.

Season series: Toronto leads 1-0. The Blue Jays won 2021 season series 11-8.

The Blue Jays, who took 2 of 3 from the Texas Rangers the opening weekend, won a 3-0 pitcher’s duel in Monday’s opener in the Bronx.

After taking 2 of 3 from the Boston Red Sox to open the season, the Yankees had just 4 hits – all singles – in Monday’s loss to Toronto.

Blue Jays at Yankees: Projected starters

LHP Yusei Kikuchi vs. LHP Nestor Cortes

Kikuchi (2021: 7-9, 4.41 ERA) makes his 2022 debut. He registered a 1.32 WHIP, 3.6 BB/9, and 9.3 K/9 in 157 IP last season.

Faced Toronto once last season (Sept. 9), allowing 2R in 6 IP.
Had a 2.53 ERA at Yankee Stadium last season.

Cortes (2021: 2-3, 2.9 ERA) makes his first start of the season. In 2021 he logged a 1.08 WHIP, 2.4 BB/9, and 10.0 K/9 in 93 IP.

Over/Under (O/U): 9.5 (O: -120 | U: -105)

Blue Jays at Yankees prediction and picks

Prediction

Yankees 5, Blue Jays 4

Money line

The Yankees bashed the ball against solid Boston pitching so look for a bounce back after Monday’s shutout.

The Yankees have the better bullpen and the New York lineup figures to be at its best against southpaws. Cortes is likely due some regression after last year, but his penchant for pitching well in Yankee Stadium and the ability to be bailed out after 4 or 5 frames make for a solid mound advantage for the New York.

TAKE NEW YORK (-120).

Run line/Against the spread

The price on getting the Yanks free and clear by 2-or-more is decent. NEW YORK +1.5 (-190) is worthy of a partial-unit rider (adding to the ticket above) for some bettors interest in the risk/reward flexibility.

Over/Under

A lot of cross signals here: PASS.

Toronto Blue Jays at New York Yankees odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Monday’s Blue Jays at Yankees odds and lines, with MLB expert picks and predictions.

The Toronto Blue Jays (2-1) and New York Yankees (2-1) meet Monday at 7:05 p.m. ET to open a 4-game series at Yankee Stadium. Let’s analyze Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the Blue Jays at Yankees odds with MLB picks and predictions.

Season series: First meeting in 2022. The Blue Jays won 11 of the 19 games against the Yankees last season.

Toronto took 2 of 3 from the Texas Rangers over the opening weekend. The Jays hit 7 HR in that series, including 4 on Sunday.

The Yankees remain at home after beating the Boston Red Sox twice in 3 games at Yankee Stadium.

Blue Jays at Yankees: Projected starters

RHP Alek Manoah vs. RHP Jameson Taillon

Manoah (2021: 9-2, 3.22 ERA) makes his season debut. A year ago, the rookie logged a 1.05 WHIP, 3.2 BB/9, and 10.2 K/9 in 111 2/3 IP.

Held the Yanks to 3 ER in 11 2/3 IP last season.
Albeit in a shortened spring training, had an 0.64 ERA with a 4-to-1 strikeout-to-walk ratio in Grapefruit League action.

Taillon (2021: 8-6, 4.3 ERA) makes his season debut. Last season, he posted a 1.21 WHIP, 2.7 BB/9, and 8.7 K/9 in 144 1.3 IP.

Current Toronto batters own a high-contact .852 OPS against him.
Logged a .676 OPS-against at Yankee Stadium in 2021 (vs. a .773 mark on the road).

Money line: Blue Jays -105 (bet $105 to win $100) | Yankees -120 (bet $120 to win $100)
Against the spread (ATS): Blue Jays +1.5 (+145) | Yankees -1.5 (-180)
Over/Under (O/U): 9.5 (O: +110 | U: -135)

Blue Jays at Yankees prediction and picks

Prediction

Yankees 5, Blue Jays 4

Money line

The Yankees were bashing the ball against solid Boston pitching, and quite a few of their hard-hit balls were bad-luck outs.

Look for Toronto to perhaps struggle in the open air after a weekend against lesser pitchers at indoor Rogers Centre. Manoah is a likable strikeout pitcher, but this remade Yankees lineup figures to make more contact and be able to score in more diverse ways.

Taillon struggled in 4 starts last April, but that was with some average-on-balls-in-play noise. He has a solid history of performing well early (.693 OPS career in April).

TAKE NEW YORK (-115).

Run line/Against the spread

PASS.

Over/Under

Taillon’s heavy use of the fastball could lead to an early Toronto home run or two.

One can’t be in too big a hurry to participate in a 25-cent O/U play, but there is some lean toward perhaps a partial-unit wager on the OVER 9.5 (-135).
