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.

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).
