Dylan Cease has been racking up the strikeouts for the Toronto Blue Jays lately, and I fully anticipate him to keep this trend going tonight against the New York Yankees.
Read on to see why with my Blue Jays vs. Yankees predictions and MLB picks on Tuesday, May 19.
Blue Jays vs Yankees predictions
Blue Jays vs Yankees best bet: Dylan Cease Over 7.5 strikeouts (+105)
Dylan Cease has a high strikeout total at 7.5, but I still think it's too low in this matchup. He’s averaging 8.3 strikeouts per game, going Over the number in two of his last three starts.
Cease ranks in the 97th percentile in strikeout rating with a 36% whiff rate. The New York Yankees, however, own the seventh-worst strikeout rating in baseball and have struggled with the slider, Cease's put-away pitch, in which they own a Bottom-5 whiff rate against.
Additionally, Cease has gone Over the number in back-to-back starts against the Yankees.
COVERS INTEL: Dylan Cease owns a 24% strikeout rate against this Yankees lineup, while averaging 7.8 strikeouts in his six career starts against them.
Blue Jays vs Yankees same-game parlay (SGP)
The Toronto Blue Jays have punished Will Warren with a .422 average and a 1.382 OPS against him throughout his career.
One player with a lot of success against him is George Springer, who's 3-for-5 against Warren with two extra-base hits. I’ll take Over 1.5 total bases tonight as I believe his home run last night could spark a streak for the Jays' lead-off man.
I’ll also add Springer to go Over 0.5 runs. If he gets on base often, this Jays lineup behind him has the ability to hit Warren around and bring him in.
Blue Jays vs Yankees SGP
- Dylan Cease Over 7.5 strikeouts
- George Springer Over 1.5 total bases
- George Springer Over 0.5 runs
Blue Jays vs Yankees home run pick: Daulton Varsho (+335)
This will be a half-unit wager as Warren has only surrendered six home runs this season. However, the Jays homered four times off Warren in their last outing against him.
Daulton Varsho accounted for two of them in his lone two plate appearances against Warren. I’ll bet on him to take him deep again tonight.
