Yankees vs Blue Jays player prop picks
Prop #1: Kevin Gausman Over 4.5 hits allowed
Toronto Blue Jays starter Kevin Gausman has allowed 23 hits across 15 1/3 innings over his past three starts, and he’s already faced the New York Yankees four times during the regular season, surrendering 17 hits across 22 2/3 frames.
I’m also anticipating Gausman pitching deep enough into Game 1 for the Bronx Bombers to scatter five hits, or the alternative is the potent New York lineup sends the righty to the showers in short order to cash this Over.
Prop #2: Aaron Judge Over 1.5 hits + runs + RBI
New York Yankees superstar Aaron Judge has teed off on Toronto Blue Jays righty Kevin Gausman to the tune of a 1.283 OPS with three doubles, six home runs, and 12 RBI across just 48 at-bats.
Of course, Judge also sports an elite .450 wOBA and .344 ISO against righties over the past three seasons, and the Yankees captain is perfectly positioned in the heart of the lineup to stuff the stat sheet on Saturday.
Prop #3: Trent Grisham Over 15 hits + runs + RBI
While Yankees outfielder Trent Grisham is just 6-for-25 during his career against Gausman, the first-year Bronx Bomber has turned in a career year in pinstripes.
Grisham posted a high-end .375 wOBA, .251 ISO, and .869 OPS against righties, and he projects to set the table in the leadoff spot for the loaded New York lineup.
