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.)
