The Jays won the first two games and can guarantee a series win with another victory tonight. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Check out my Yankees vs. Blue Jays predictions for July 2, including <a href=\"https:\/\/www.northstarbets.ca\/sportsbook\/news\/stats\/mlb\/vladimir_guerrero_jr\/batting-stats\">Vladimir Guerrero Jr.<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.northstarbets.ca\/sportsbook\/news\/stats\/mlb\/addison_barger\/batting-stats\">Addison Barger<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Yankees vs. Blue Jays predictions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>SGP: Over 7.5 runs | Guerrero over 1.5 total bases | Barger 1+ hits (+300)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Over 7.5 runs (-195):<\/strong> There have been a combined 26 runs through two games in this series, and I don&#8217;t expect the offence to slow down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Both clubs set a high standard with the bats, scoring at least four-plus runs apiece in both contests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It wouldn&#8217;t be crazy for one team to cover this teased-down total alone. Toronto did just that yesterday, winning 12-5, led by an offensive outburst from George Springer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Warren will take the mound for New York on Wednesday, and his 4.37 ERA is decent but nothing to write home about. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For the Jays, Berrios has been excellent (1.66 ERA over last six starts), but his head-to-head stats against the Yankees raise concerns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 144 career at-bats, New York&#8217;s active lineup is batting .285 off Berrios. That includes Aaron Judge, who is 14-for-37 (.378) with five home runs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"cacheembed:115434\">Embed: #115434<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"insights\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.northstarbets.ca\/sportsbook\/sports-hub\/baseball\/mlb?utm_source=insights&amp;utm_medium=text_link&amp;utm_term=&amp;utm_content=&amp;utm_campaign=sportsbook_mlb\">Full MLB betting markets<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"insights\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.northstarbets.ca\/sportsbook\/news\/article\/mlb-injury-report?utm_source=insights&amp;utm_medium=text_link&amp;utm_term=&amp;utm_content=&amp;utm_campaign=injury_reports\">MLB injury report<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"insights\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.northstarbets.ca\/sportsbook\/news\/stats\/mlb\/top-players\/hitting\/OPS-on-base_plus_slugging?utm_source=insights&amp;utm_medium=text_link&amp;utm_term=&amp;utm_content=&amp;utm_campaign=stats_pages\">MLB stats &amp; standings<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">MLB SGP legs<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><strong>Guerrero over 1.5 total bases<\/strong> (+123):<\/strong> After Guerrero&#8217;s 0-for-5 showing on Tuesday, I&#8217;m ready to jump right back on the Vladdy train.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Take a look at his stats over the past 22 games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>.293 AVG<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>.524 SLG<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>43 total bases<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>14-8 against this wager<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>His average is only slightly elevated from his season average, but he&#8217;s starting to hit for some serious power. Four of his 12 home runs came in that span.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Warren throws either a four-seam fastball or a sinker 58.7% of the time. Guerrero has a .339 average against those pitches this season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Barger over 0.5 hits (-210):<\/strong> When he&#8217;s in the lineup, Barger has been very consistent at cashing this over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He got the day off yesterday, but he should be right back in the heart of the order with how he&#8217;s swinging the bat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here&#8217;s how he&#8217;s performed across the last 30 games:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>.275 AVG<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>.550 SLG<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>And more importantly, he had a hit in 22 of those contests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Barger hits better against right-handed pitching, too.
