Chance to win tonight, per ESPN's computer model
How to read this: "chance to win per the betting market" comes from the actual odds with the sportsbook's built-in fee (the vig) stripped out, so it is the market's honest opinion. When that number and ESPN's model disagree, one of them is wrong, and that gap is where value lives.
📘 New to betting? Two-minute translation. A
moneyline bet is picking who wins the game, nothing else. In this game, +110 means a $100 bet profits $110 if it wins. -126 means you risk $126 to profit $100, that's the favorite. The
run line is baseball's point spread, almost always 1.5 runs. The
total is a bet on combined runs by both teams, over or under the books' number.
+EV (positive expected value) means the price pays better than the true odds, the only proven way to profit long-term. Learn the full system free:

The Hook
First place visits the middle of the pack. The New York Yankees roll into Rogers Centre sitting atop the American League East, while the Toronto Blue Jays are trying to climb out of a losing month. On paper this looks like a mismatch, but the betting market disagrees, pricing it close to a coin flip. That gap between what the eye sees and what the numbers say is exactly where bettors hunt for value. Let us dig in.

The Matchup
The Yankees are 42-27, leading the AL East and riding a one-game winning streak. Over their last five games they have gone 4-1, scoring 26 runs and allowing 20, so the bats and the run prevention have both been working. Toronto is 34-37, below .500 and stuck in neutral. The Blue Jays have alternated wins and losses lately, going 2-3 over their last five while being outscored 22 to 18. The season series between these two is dead even at one win apiece, so neither club has established control of this rivalry yet.
Pitching Matchup
In baseball, the starting pitcher shapes a game more than any single player in any other sport, because he touches every pitch for the first several innings. New York sends Will Warren to the mound at 7-1 with a 3.41 ERA (earned run average, the number of earned runs a pitcher allows per nine innings; lower is better). Toronto counters with veteran Patrick Corbin at 2-3 with a 4.55 ERA. On those raw numbers, Warren has been both more effective and more reliable, and that edge is the main reason the Yankees are favored.
The Numbers
Start with the moneyline, which is simply a bet on who wins the game straight up. The Yankees are -126 at FanDuel, meaning you risk $126 to win $100. The Blue Jays are +110 at Fanatics, meaning a $100 bet wins you $110 if Toronto pulls the upset. Always shop for these top prices, because a better number is free money over time.
The run line is a 1.5-run spread. New York at -1.5 pays +134 at FanDuel, so the Yankees must win by two or more runs and you would risk $100 to win $134. Toronto at +1.5 is -155 at Fanatics, meaning the Blue Jays just need to lose by one or win outright, but you risk $155 to win $100. The total is set at 8.5, the combined runs both teams are expected to score. Over is -105 at Fanatics and Under is -110 at BetMGM; you bet whether the real total lands above or below 8.5.
