Toronto Blue Jays Betting Analysis
The Blue Jays were expected to be one of the most exciting teams in baseball this season, and they have not disappointed through their first three games of the year. They have a roster full of young, star talent that projects to lead Toronto to one of the best records in the MLB.
Even in their 12-6 loss on Sunday, the Blue Jays stole some headlines. Vladimir Guerrero Jr clubbed a 467-foot moonshot to the left-center field for his first home run of the year. The Blue Jays hit four total home runs in the game.
But Corey Seager and the Rangers ultimately dropped 12 runs to take the finale. Nonetheless, the Blue Jays won the series and head to New York feeling confident.
RHP Alek Manoah gets the call on Monday. He was one of the bright young stars on this team last year, and the Blue Jays expect him to take the next step in 2022. He faces the daunting challenge of dealing with the Bronx Bombers in New York.
New York Yankees Betting Analysis
The Yankees played a riveting series with Boston to open the season. They won their first two games against the Red Sox, with one of those wins coming via a Josh Donaldson walk-off base hit.
However, the Red Sox stole the final game 4-3 on Sunday night.
Anthony Rizzo stayed hot at the dish with another hit and two RBI’s. Giancarlo Stanton and Aaron Judge also combined for five hits in the loss.
Jordan Montgomery was decent over 3.1 innings pitched, as the left-hander surrendered three runs and struck out for Red Sox batters. Tanner Houck started for Boston and also allowed three runs over 3.1 innings pitched.
However, the Boston bullpen allowed no Yankee runs following Houck’s departure, which led them to the 4-3 victory.
The Yankees still enjoyed a successful series and will look to jump back in the win column on Monday against Toronto.
Jameson Taillon is scheduled to make his season debut in this one. Taillon possesses the stuff to be a star but has struggled to put it all together at the big league level. It is possible that this is the year it clicks for Tailon.
