The Toronto Blue Jays will send Marco Estrada to the mound to kick off their weekday series with the New York Yankees Monday, which means the UNDER may be worth a look. The UNDER is 10-2 in Estrada’s past 12 starts dating back to last season with the righty allowing an average of 1.92 earned runs per outing in that span.
- The Yankees have lost four of the past five games against the Blue Jays.
- Jose Bautista is 9-for-27 lifetime against Nova with seven walks.
- The OVER is 9-3 in the Yankees’ past 12 games following a win.
The Yankees will give the start to Ivan Nova who has been a solid part of the rotation since being promoted from the bullpen. Nova has a 2.74 ERA and a 1.09 WHIP in his four starts so far this season.
After an inconsistent first month to the season, Edwin Encarnacion has started to find his groove at the plate for the Jays. That could be a concern for Nova, as Encarnacion has a lifetime .344 batting average with seven RBIs against the righty.
