It's Dylan Cease bump day, which means I'm all over Toronto as part of my Blue Jays vs. Yankees predictions.
The Toronto Blue Jays come into today in a Wild Card spot, and are looking to sweep the New York Yankees as -125 favorites at BET99.
Let’s dive into my MLB picks for Sunday, Aug. 16 and cash a same-game parlay, shall we?
Yankees vs Blue Jays predictions
Yankees vs Blue Jays best bet: Blue Jays moneyline (-125)
If the New York Yankees want to steal a game in Toronto, they're in for a tough time against AL Cy Young odds candidate Dylan Cease, who's allowed just four earned runs across his last 27 innings pitched.
Cease has the highest strikeout percentage of his career (36%), and is going up against Ryan Weathers, a lefty the Blue Jays have owned (13-for-37, four homers) over the last couple of seasons. Let's back them to do just that this afternoon.
I'd bet this up to -135.
COVERS INTEL: George Springer has the hot hand against Weathers, going 3-for-5 with two home runs while rocking a .403 xBA. If the Jays win today, he'll be at the center of it.

Blue Jays moneyline
Brett Bateman 2+ H/R/RBI
Dylan Cease Under 1.5 earned runs
Brett Bateman might be the most consistent hitter on the Blue Jays, and I won't stand by and watch him cash this bet once more without me being in on it (he's cashed this wager in three of his last four games).
Elsewhere, I'm expecting Cease to be good in one of the biggest games of the season. Don't overthink this one.

Yankees vs Blue Jays home run pick: George Springer (+525)
If you're looking for one player to go yard today, look no further than Springer.
He's hit two home runs in just five at-bats against Weathers in his career and is rocking an astronomical 1.118 xSLG. Sometimes the numbers don't lie.
He hasn't hit a bomb in nearly a month, but today feels like the day.
