Expert MLB Betting Prediction on Yankees at Blue Jays

On Tuesday night, the New York Yankees visit the Toronto Blue Jays in MLB betting action. The Yankees (3-2) are in second place in the American League East. The Blue Jays (3-4) are in fourth place in the American League East. The Yankees beat the Tigers, 8-4, on Saturday and had their Sunday game postponed due to weather. The Blue Jays ended a four-game slide by beating the Boston Red Sox, 3-0, on Sunday.

Expert MLB Betting Prediction on Yankees at Blue Jays & Game Info

When: Tuesday, April 12, 2016, 7:07pm ET Where: Rogers Centre, Toronto, ON TV: FSW+, FSTN Radio: Toronto / New York Live Stream: MLB.tv MLB Odds: TOR -115 Pitching Matchup: Masahiro Tanaka (0-0) (NYY) vs Aaron Sanchez (0-0) (TOR)

Why Should You Bet on the Yankees?

Masahiro Tanaka is the Yankees’ ace, and he is taking on a Toronto Blue Jays team that is staggering out of the gate to start. The Blue Jays won their first two games in Tampa Bay but then dropped two games there and two more in Boston before getting a win on Sunday. Tanaka has owned the Blue Jays since 2014, winning five of his seven starts and posting a 2.23 ERA and ringing up 48 strikeouts. Toronto has a high powered offense but has only hit .204 against Tanaka over that stretch with five home runs. Josh Donaldson and Jose Bautista are a combined 5 for 33 against Tanaka, and Troy Tulowitzki and Ryan Goins have faced Tanaka 17 times combined, with no hits.

Why Should You Put Your money on Toronto?

Toronto did beat the Yankees 13 times in 19 meetings last season. The Toronto offense has stumbled a bit to start the season, as Donaldson is the only one hitting over .300, and he has been fighting a sore right calf, but the Blue Jays have too much offensive talent to stay down for too long. The Blue Jays send young Aaron Sanchez to the mound. He was all set to collect a win against Tampa Bay on Tuesday, but the bullpen blew the save, and the Rays won, 3-2. Sanchez did pick up eight strikeouts and limit Tampa Bay to a run and five hits in seven innings.

Expert Betting Pick and Final Score Prediction

The Blue Jays are a better offensive team than they have been showing. However, Tanaka is a dominating pitcher and gives the Yankees a big chance to win this game. I’m predicting a 4-2 Yankee win.
