Now, the Jays turn to rookie <a href=\"https:\/\/www.northstarbets.ca\/sportsbook\/news\/stats\/mlb\/trey_yesavage\/pitching-stats\">Trey Yesavage<\/a>, who will try to out-duel Yankees ace Max Fried. New York has won five of Fried&#8217;s last six starts and is favoured today. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Check out my Yankees vs. Blue Jays best bets for ALDS Game 2, featuring prop bets on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.northstarbets.ca\/sportsbook\/news\/stats\/mlb\/george_springer\/batting-stats\">George Springer<\/a> and Yesavage. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Yankees vs. Blue Jays best bets<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Best bet: Springer to score (+112)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Getting Toronto&#8217;s leadoff man to score at plus money isn&#8217;t something you&#8217;d often see during the regular season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But we&#8217;re in October, and I want every piece of this inflated line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Springer was the Jays&#8217; MVP this year, and his ridiculous second-half helped Toronto secure the No. 1 seed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>First in OPS (1.121)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>First in wRC+ (210)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Second in batting average (.369)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Fourth in runs scored (53)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Springer went 0-4 in Saturday&#8217;s series opener, but still walked and scored. He has now cashed this wager in four of his last five games with six total runs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fried is obviously an elite talent, but Springer has had the southpaw&#8217;s number.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He is 5-for-15 against the lefty with two doubles, no strikeouts, and two walks, and his .334 xBA and .579 xSLG indicate those results were well earned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Getting aboard seems like a certainty, and I fully trust Toronto&#8217;s lineup to drive him home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Jays have shelled Fried twice at Rogers Centre this year, scoring 10 runs against him in 11.1 IP. Springer scored in both of those contests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Key stat:<\/strong> Fried has a career 6.35 ERA at the Rogers Centre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"cacheembed:118825\">Embed: #118825<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul id=\"block-10146156-2d6b-49a8-b097-37743fd550b5\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><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\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Full MLB betting markets<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><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\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>MLB injury report<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><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\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>MLB stats &amp; standings<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Other MLB postseason predictions<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Yesavage over 4.5 Ks (-121):<\/strong> Yesavage is making his fourth career start today, and I think he&#8217;ll have Yankees hitters in knots. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The rookie posted an otherworldly 14.5 K\/9 rate in the minors this season, and has looked solid in the big leagues so far:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Sept. 15 @ TB<\/strong>: 5.0 IP, 3 H, 1 ER, 9 Ks<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Sept. 21 @ KC<\/strong>: 4.0 IP, 5 H, 4 ER, 2 Ks<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Sept. 27 vs. TB:<\/strong> 5,0 IP, 5 H, 0 ER, 5 Ks<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Yesavage posted a 35.4% whiff rate in those outings.
