The New York Yankees (68-55) try to avoid the sweep Sunday at the hands of their AL East rivals, when they visit the Toronto Blue Jays (61-64).
Toronto has limited New York to just two total runs over the first two games, and it doesn’t get any easier for the Yankees, who will try to tag starter and Cy Young candidate Dylan Cease.
The books have Toronto as a -116 favorite to complete the sweep in the MLB odds.
First pitch goes at 1:37pm ET today from Rogers Centre in Toronto, with MLB TV providing the broadcast coverage.
Yankees vs Blue Jays Prediction
- Under 7.5 total runs (54¢ at Polymarket)
- Toronto Blue Jays ML (52¢ at Polymarket)
- Dylan Cease 9+ strikeouts (48¢ on Kalshi)
When analyzing the betting market for this matchup, my focus immediately shifts to the total. New York’s recent matchups have heavily favored low-scoring environments. The Under has cashed in eight of the Yankees’ last 10 games. Consequently, my primary play is Under 7.5 total runs at -120 odds.
I am also backing Toronto to defend their home turf. The Blue Jays have been highly profitable when catching plus odds recently, boasting a 75% win percentage as an underdog over their last eight applicable matchups. Overall, Toronto has played excellent baseball down the stretch, posting a 7-3 straight-up record.
For MLB player props, I am targeting Dylan Cease to dominate a battered New York lineup. The right-hander boasts a blistering 13.09 strikeouts per nine innings. Backing Cease to record 9+ strikeouts offers excellent value at 48¢ on Kalshi.
Comparing the season-to-date resumes of Sundays’ MLB probable pitchers, Cease holds a distinct statistical advantage.
The right-hander has compiled a 14-8 record with a pristine 2.398 ERA across 22 starts. His underlying metrics fully support his surface-level dominance, reflected by a 2.409 FIP and an elite .182 opponent batting average. Moreover, his explosive 13.089 K/9 rate highlights his ability to miss bats.
On the other side, Weathers has been a reliable workhorse, logging 126.2 innings over 23 starts. Although his 3.695 ERA trails Cease’s exceptional marks, his peripheral stats suggest he has pitched well enough to keep his squad competitive.
When analyzing recent form using a last-10-games sample, both pitchers have elevated their performances. Cease has delivered a 1.847 ERA and a 0.979 WHIP over 63.1 innings of work. Weathers has recorded a 2.752 ERA across 52.1 innings, backed by excellent command and a dependable 9.46 K/9 rate.

The odds for this divisional clash frame the hometown Blue Jays as slight moneyline favorites at -116 on Fanduel, while the visiting Yankees offer value at +110 fron DraftKings.
Both teams are getting 1.5 runs on the spread, and you can see the juice added for taking this bet on. Taking the Yankees with those extra runs against the spread means -205 payouts from Caesars, while the Blue Jays get the same odds from bet365.
When evaluating the MLB public betting market, comparing ticket percentages to money percentages reveals a balanced handle. The public is backing Toronto, drawing 58.7% of the tickets. However, New York commands a respectable 48.6% of the overall betting handle, dropping Toronto’s share of the money to just 51.4%.
Bettors are heavily anticipating a pitcher’s duel today. The Under has attracted a clear majority of the tickets at 60.9%. Much like the moneyline, the handle on the total is slightly more balanced than the ticket count, with 53.8% of the money backing the Under.
