Blue Jays vs Yankees Pick, Betting Analysis
BARTOLO projects the Blue Jays for 3.98 runs and the Yankees for 4.31 this afternoon, which would bring the total over the line.
Despite his great season so far, Jose Soriano got pounded in his last outing by the Rays. The newest member of the Blue Jays rotation gave up nine hits in 5 2/3 innings, but only cost them three earned runs.
However, the biggest concern is Carlos Rodon on the Yankees mound, as he just came back from the IL and is still getting back into form, which will force an early bullpen call.
Both relief corps are spent after the Toronto pen worked early on Friday behind Mason Fluharty, who lasted only 2/3 innings, and the New York relievers had to help out on Saturday following Ryan Weathers' initial 10 outs.
Also, the Blue Jays are the fourth-best offense in MLB over the past seven days, with a 134 wRC+ rating.
Pick: Over 7.5 (-112), bet to 8 (-102)
