It’s Dylan Cease bump day, so you know we have to back Toronto in our Blue Jays vs. Yankees predictions.
The Toronto Blue Jays visit the New York Yankees for Game 2 of their three-game series this afternoon at Yankee Stadium as slight -105 underdogs at BET99. They’ve shrunk their path to the Wild Card to just 1.5 games, and are looking for an eighth straight series win.
Let’s dive into my MLB picks for Saturday, Aug. 22, and win another best bet.
Blue Jays vs Yankees predictions
Blue Jays vs Yankees best bet: Blue Jays moneyline (-105)
Dylan Cease is likely going to win the AL Cy Young odds race for a reason — he’s pretty good at throwing baseballs. He’s especially good at throwing baseballs against the New York Yankees.
Across 126 plate appearances, New York owns just a .306 xwOBA, .232 xBA, and is striking out at a 28% clip.
The Toronto Blue Jays fare much better against Ryan Weathers, owning a .311 average and .469 xSLG over 66 at-bats.
Look for them to take Game 2 of the series with Cease on the mound.
COVERS INTEL: Who's hotter than Alejandro Kirk right now? He just moved his hitting streak to nine games yesterday, and is 3-for-5 with a .330 xBA against Weathers.
Blue Jays vs Yankees same-game parlay (SGP)
We’re riding Cease to go deep and record nine strikeouts after punching this lineup out at a 28% rate.
Charles McAdoo has also done his job since getting called up, and we’re taking a chance on him after going 2-for-3 in his initial meeting with Weathers. Let’s cash our third SGP this week.
Blue Jays vs Yankees SGP
- Charles McAdoo 2+ H/R/RBI
- Blue Jays moneyline
- Dylan Cease 8+ Ks
