Yankees at Blue Jays picks and predictions

Prediction

Blue Jays 5, Yankees 3

Moneyline

These are 2 equally matched ballclubs, but Toronto’s pitching gives the host the edge here when weighted for outlay and return.

Gausman has allowed just 4 ER over his last 26 IP against New York.  He posted a fine ERA so far despite pitching around a .350 batting average on balls in play. Peg the Toronto bullpen backing him up as being slightly undervalued and the Yankee relief unit as being slightly overvalued.

There is Gausman’s 5-day rest coming into this start. When the veteran righty starts a game on 5-day rest, over his career he’s yielded a 3.20 ERA on a .655 OPS (on 4-day rest: 4.22 ERA, .750 OPS).

Toronto is the lean, but hold off for a price closer to -180 or -175.

PASS.

Run line/Against the spread

German is a fly-ball pitcher, and the Blue Jays rip fly-ball types (.819 OPS, 4th in MLB).

At current pricing for the Jays, the TORONTO -1.5 (+110) play is more competitive. That’s the better play unless the price drops on the moneyline.

Over/Under

The Under is 8-2 across the last 10 Yankees-Blue Jays games.

A hefty outward breeze is expected if the Rogers Centre roof is open. If it’s closed, BACK THE UNDER 8.5 (-110). The Twitter account IsTheDomeOpen is an excellent source of that information once it becomes available later in the day, but it’s calling for a fine evening in Toronto and the dome is likely to be open.

Yankees at Blue Jays picks and predictions

Prediction

Blue Jays 7, Yankees 5

Moneyline

PASS.

Toronto (-165) should win its 4th straight game, but there is no need to pay the higher price on the moneyline when the Blue Jays should win by multiple runs. Bet the run line and/or the total instead.

Run line/Against the spread

BET BLUE JAYS -1.5 (+115).

Toronto looked unstoppable in its 3-game series vs. Atlanta and should be able to take advantage of a Yankees pitching staff that has given up an average of 7.25 runs over its last 4 games. Five of Toronto’s last 6 wins have been by multiple runs and the Blue Jays are 8-1 in their last 9 home games. The Yankees are 1-5 in their last 6 on the road and should struggle to keep this game close.

Play our free daily Pick’em Challenge and win! Play now!

Over/Under

BET OVER 9.5 (+100).

The Over is 8-0 in New York’s last 8 games and the Yankees have allowed 5 or more runs in 5 straight.

The Over has hit in 9 of Toronto’s last 13 games and should cash again Monday as New York’s pitching staff continues to give up a lot of runs.

Yankees 4, Blue Jays 3

Money line

Not enough of a lean to swing toward either side. PASS.

Run line/Against the spread

STEER CLEAR. The extra juice here cuts into any potential value.

Over/Under

The Under has hit in 5 straight series matchups, and that’s the play here.

Both starters have had some undeserved bloated numbers of late. The Yankees’ lineup may be in day-after-clinching the division mode.

BACK THE UNDER 7.5 (-110).

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

Analyzing Tuesday’s New York Yankees at Toronto Blue Jays odds and lines, with MLB expert picks and predictions.

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 projected starters

RHP Jameson Taillon vs. RHP Jose Berrios

Taillon (13-5, 3.9 ERA) makes his 31st start of the season. He has a 1.12 WHIP, 1.6 BB/9 and 7.7 K/9 through 164 IP.

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).

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

The New York Yankees (94-58) begin a 3-game series with the Toronto Blue Jays (86-67) Monday at the Rogers Centre. First pitch is 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: Yankees lead 9-7

Yankees at Blue Jays picks and predictions

Prediction

Blue Jays 5, Yankees 4

Money line

I’ll be taking the BLUE JAYS (-120) in this game given the edge they have at pitcher. Gausman has been fantastic this season while Severino is making only his 2nd start since returning from the injured list.

The Blue Jays have won 4 of their last 5 meetings with the Yankees.

Run line/Against the spread

Despite predicting the Blue Jays to win, I’ll PASS on the spread in this game. The odds are terrible for New York to keep the game within 2 runs while I’m not comfortable taking Toronto to win by multiple runs on Monday.

Over/Under

OVER 7.5 RUNS (-125) is the move in this game with both teams being able to swing the bat and put runs on the scoreboard. Even though Gausman has had success against the Yankees, New York should still be able to manufacture runs at some point.

The Over is 3-0-1 in Toronto’s last 4 home games. Meanwhile, the Yankees have hit the Over in the opener of 4 consecutive series.

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

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

The New York Yankees (16-6) and Toronto Blue Jays (15-8) clash in a top of the AL East standings series at Rogers Centre. Monday’s opener of the 3-game set is scheduled for a 7:07 p.m. ET first pitch. Let’s analyze Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the Yankees vs. Blue Jays odds with MLB picks and predictions.

Season series: tied 2-2.

New York is coming off a 3-game sweep at Kansas City, and the Yankees tote a 9-game win streak over the border. A New York offense that came out of the gate slowly has scored 7.44 runs per game during the streak.

The Blue Jays, conversely, were bashing the ball early, but its been their pitching at the fore of a 9-3 mark over the club’s last dozen games. Toronto hurlers own a 3.21 ERA over that stretch.

Yankees at Blue Jays projected starters

LHP Jordan Montgomery vs. RHP Ross Stripling

Montgomery (0-1, 2.70 ERA) has a 0.95 WHIP, 2.3 BB/9 and 6.8 K/9 through 20 IP over 4 starts.

  • Owns a 1.62 ERA (.509 OPS against) across his last 3 starts.
  • Did not face the Jays when New York played Toronto April 11-14. Pitched 10 innings vs. Toronto in 2021 and allowed 7 ER on 10 hits and 6 BB.

Stripling (0-0, 3.60 ERA) has notched a 1.13 WHIP, 2.4 BB/9 and 7.2 K/9 through 15 IP across 3 starts and 2 relief appearances.

  • Did not face New York in the April series. Allowed 5 ER on 10 H and 4 BB in 10 IP vs. New York in 2021.

Yankees at Blue Jays picks and predictions

Prediction

Blue Jays 5, Yankees 4

Money line

Montgomery has benefited by a .224 batting average on balls in play, while Stripling’s start to the 2022 season is more grounded in the support numbers. The Blue Jays right-hander has also pitched exceedingly well in limited action at Rogers Centre (.464 OPS allowed in 9 career games).

Not being a fan of betting against protracted streaks, I’d rather bet the Jays on the run line. This figure is fairer, however. Consider a partial-unit playing backing the BLUE JAYS (+102).

Run line/Against the spread

PASS. You’ll want a tag lower than Jays -160 if you want to take the home side plus the run line.

Over/Under

Leaning into preseason projections, a hot New York offense, a currently undervalued Toronto offense, and a fade-New York-pitching angle in this opener, TAKE THE OVER 8.5 (+100).

Prediction

Blue Jays 4, Yankees 2

Money line (ML)

The BLUE JAYS (-145) have their Cy Young hopeful on the bump, looking to tighten up this already crazy AL Wild Card race even more.

Toronto closed within a game of the Wild Card-leading Yanks with a 6-5 win Wednesday, dousing cold water on New York’s seven-game win streak. Now, the Yankees are going to have a two-game losing skid when they need it the least.

To make matters worse, they lost OF Joey Gallo to a hand injury after he was hit by a pitch, while 1B Luke Voit left with a knee injury while running the bases.

Run line/Against the spread (ATS)

BLUE JAYS -1.5 (+140) are worth a small-unit play behind Ray, although he hasn’t exactly been crisp against the Yankees.

Toronto didn’t cover the run line Wednesday but the Jays are still worth a play Thursday.

Over/Under (O/U)

The UNDER 8.5 (-115) is the best play on the board.

Yes, the Over connected in Wednesday’s game with 11 total runs; however, Kluber and Ray will exchange plenty of donuts early on in this one as the postseason pressure gets ratcheted up. Under bettors will hang on for the win.

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

Analyzing Wednesday’s New York Yankees at Toronto Blue Jays odds and lines, with MLB picks and predictions.

The New York Yankees (90-67) and Toronto Blue Jays (87-70) continue their three-game AL East series Wednesday. First pitch from Rogers Centre is scheduled for 7:07 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze the lines around the Yankees vs. Blue Jays odds with MLB picks and predictions.

RHP Gerritt Cole is the scheduled starting pitcher for the Yankees. He is 16-8 with a 3.08 ERA, 1.04 WHIP, 12.2 K/9, and 2.1 BB/9 over 175 1/3 IP across 29 starts.

  • Has notched a 4.61 ERA over his last five starts, but that figure has come alongside some high BABIP and home run/fly ball rates.
  • Owns a 2.74 ERA over 23 innings spanning four starts against Toronto this season.
  • Current Blue Jays bats own a .617 OPS and .141 isolated power against him.

RHP Jose Berrios is the scheduled starter for the Blue Jays. He is 12-9 with a 3.48 ERA, 1.08 WHIP, 9.5 K/9, and 2.2 BB/9 over 186 IP through 31 starts this season.

  • Has not allowed more than 3 ER or pitched fewer than 6 innings in a start since Aug. 24. Owns a 2.70 ERA, 0.82 WHIP and 10.3 K/9 over that stretch.
  • Owns a 3.06 ERA and 0.93 over his last six turns at Rogers Centre.
  • Has held current Yankee batters to an aggregate .709 OPS.

Prediction

Yankees 4, Blue Jays 3

Money line (ML)

The Yankees took Tuesday’s opener and have won seven straight games. Heading into the series, New York had notched an .829 OPS over its last 17 games. The Yanks are 21-10 over their last 31 road games after Tuesday’s triumph.

Toronto is just 6-7 over its last 13 contests. However, the Blue Jays have fared well at home (21-11 last 32 games) and are 10-7 against the Yankees this season.

The second game of this series spells near-toss-up without much betting leverage either way, but peg Cole as being slightly undervalued and the YANKEES (-117) being the better play.

Run line/Against the spread (ATS)

PASS on the juicier run-line prices.

Over/Under (O/U)

The Under hit last night and is 13-5 across the last 18 meetings between the Jays and Yanks.

Both bullpens have been better than recent surface numbers suggest,  and the Cole-Berrios matchup more likely produces a six-run game than a 12-run slugfest. BACK THE UNDER 8.5 (-125).

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

Analyzing Tuesday’s New York Yankees at Toronto Blue Jays odds and lines, with MLB picks and predictions.

The New York Yankees (89-67) and Toronto Blue Jays (87-69) tangle in the opener of a crucial three-game AL East series Tuesday. First pitch from Rogers Centre is scheduled for 7:07 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze the lines around the Yankees vs. Blue Jays odds with MLB picks and predictions.

RHP Jameson Taillon is the scheduled starting pitcher for the Yankees. He is 8-6 with a 4.41 ERA, 1.22 WHIP, 8.8 K/9, and 2.7 BB/9 over 138 2/3 IP across 27 starts.

  • Comes off the injured list (IL) after being sidelined since Sept. 9 with the right ankle tendon injury. Pitched 3 innings in a rehab start at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, and will likely be limited in his return.
  • Owns a Boeing ERA (7.01) over his last five starts.
  • Current Toronto batters own an aggregate .954 OPS against him.

LHP Hyun Jin Ryu is the scheduled starter for the Blue Jays. He is 13-9 with a 4.34 ERA, 1.21 WHIP, 7.5 K/9, and 2.0 BB/9 over 159 2/3 IP through 29 starts.

  • Coming off the IL (neck strain) for this turn. Allowed 5 runs over 2 innings against the Minnesota Twins in his last outing Sept. 17.
  • Owns a 10.07 ERA across his last 19 2/3 IP over five starts.
  • Has held current Yankee batters to a .643 OPS and has a 1.88 ERA and 0.92 WHIP through 24 IP versus New York this season.

Prediction

Blue Jays 5, Yankees 3

Money line (ML)

The Yankees have had an up-and-down September, but they ride into Tuesday on a six-game win streak and off a sweep of the Boston Red Sox at Fenway Park. New York has registered an .829 OPS over its last 17 games and is 20-10 over its last 30 road games.

The Blue Jays come into Tuesday off back-to-back victories at Minnesota, but Toronto is just 6-6 over its last dozen games. It’s been a key stretch of late: the Red Sox, Yankees, and Blue Jays all head into their last six games separated by two games in the AL Wild Card chase.

The run line offers better value here: PASS.

Run line/Against the spread (ATS)

The Blue Jays are 10-6 against the Yankees this season. Ryu has had the shorter layoff and has a solid line against New York. A couple of high-pitch-count innings early for Taillon could get New York into an ugly corner of its bullpen.

So Toronto is the lean, but a conservative partial-unit play is suggested with both starters returning from injury.

BACK THE BLUE JAYS -1.5 (+155).

Over/Under (O/U)

The Under has held sway for both teams in recent games and is 12-5 across the last 17 meetings between the Jays and Yanks.

As much as both starters are stamina question marks, both bullpens have been better than recent surface numbers suggest. The total here is generous. BACK THE UNDER 9.5 (-125).
