PUBLIC BETTING INFORMATION

As of this writing, 71% of the betting tickets wagered at online sportsbooks are on the Blue Jays to win on the money line. Meanwhile, 74% of the betting tickets are on the under.

OUR PREDICTION

I wouldn’t bet on this game going over the betting total. Stroman has faced the Yankees more times than any other team in his career (13) and has fared well against the Bombers (3.19 ERA in 37 ⅓ innings of work). His numbers are even better when he faces the Yankees in Toronto, allowing only eight earned runs in 42 innings pitched. On the other side, Gray is pretty consistent and he won’t get hurt. Gray has pitched well in Toronto, posting a 2.32 ERA in five career starts, which include 31 strikeouts in 31 innings of work. The under is a perfect 6-0 in the last six meetings between these two teams and is 25-9 in the last 34 meetings in Toronto.
