Toronto Blue Jays vs. New York Yankees<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"The<\/a>
The New York Yankees have won their last nine home games against the Toronto Blue Jays<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Toronto has alternated wins and losses over its last four games, as it looks to bounce back from a 2-1 setback to the Tampa Bay Rays as +147 road underdogs Sunday, while going UNDER the betting total for the sixth time in seven contests.\u00a0 The Blue Jays have lost their last nine games at this ballpark\u2014a streak that will likely continue due to Tuesday\u2019s pitching matchup.\u00a0 Toronto is 6-5 after an off day this season, with the OVER cashing in six of those opportunities.<\/p>\n

Blue Jays starting pitcher Esmil Rogers (3-7, 4.91 ERA) didn\u2019t earn a decision in a 4-3 home victory over the Boston Red Sox last time out, as he allowed a single run and five hits over six frames.\u00a0 The right-hander is 2-4 with a 4.86 ERA in 17 road games (seven starts), with opposing hitters batting .308 against him.\u00a0 In seven career relief appearances versus the Yankees, Rogers has compiled a 0-1 record and 2.16 ERA.<\/p>\n

New York returns home after taking two of three games against the Boston Red Sox, including a 9-6 victory as +113 road underdogs on ESPN\u2019s Sunday Night Baseball, while going OVER the betting total for the fifth time in six contests.\u00a0 The Yankees have outscored the Blue Jays by a 47-25 margin during their current winning streak in this series when playing in front of the home fans.\u00a0 New York is 24-22 versus division opponents this season, with the UNDER going 23-19-4 in that situation.<\/p>\n

Yankees starting pitcher Ivan Nova (6-4, 2.99 ERA) has led the club to three consecutive victories, including a 11-3 home victory over the Los Angeles Angels last time out, as he allowed three runs and 10 hits over 7.1 frames.\u00a0 The right-hander is 4-2 with a 2.53 ERA in nine home games (eight starts), surrendering two home runs in 57 combined innings.\u00a0 In nine career games (eight starts) versus the Blue Jays, Nova has tallied a 3-2 record and 4.60 ERA.<\/p>\n

Sports bettors will likely play the total in this affair, as the OVER is 5-1 in the Yankees\u2019 last six home games.<\/p>\n
