  • A couple of AL East rivals will get their seasons going with the Yankees headed north of the border to take on the Blue Jays. It shouldn’t come as a shock to see the Yankees as the betting favorite, but the Jays have actually had their number when the teams play in Toronto, winning 14 of the last 19 games between the clubs at Rogers Centre.

    Shark Bites
    • The total has gone UNDER in 22 of the Yankees’ last 31 games on the road vs the Blue Jays.
    • The Yankees have lost six straight season openers.
    • In three career games at Rogers Centre, Giancarlo Stanton has three home runs.

    Handicapping baseball games at the start of a season can be a bit tricky, but if you’re looking for a plus-money betting option, the Jays make a compelling case. Aside from their dominance of the Yankees for a few seasons in Toronto, today’s starting pitcher, J.A. Happ, has been a bit of a Yankee killer. In seven starts vs New York since the beginning of the 2016 season, Happ boasts a 1.99 ERA with the Jays picking up wins in six of those games.

    Upsetting the Yanks is no easy feat, especially with young ace Luis Severino on the mound. He’s coming off his breakout year in 2017, but he struggled in two starts vs Toronto, posting a 4.97 ERA in 12.2 innings pitched. Oddly enough, though, he was much better on the road last season, posting a 2.24 ERA vs a 3.71 home ERA.

    The game has a total of 8.5 runs and bettors will be interested to know that just nine of the 19 games between the teams last season topped that number. With that in mind and with two good pitchers on the bump, the UNDER might be the sharp play.

    Sportsbook Odds & Computer Pick

    On the MLB moneyline for this betting odds matchup, Toronto sat as +130 underdogs earlier in the day at Sportsbook. The OVER/UNDER total was set at 8.5, according to Sportsbook.
