💰 Blue Jays moneyline (-118) ⭐⭐⭐⭐
The Blue Jays have the magic this year.
Winners of five of their last six and coming off a sweep of the Baltimore Orioles - which included their MLB-best 46th comeback of the year - the Jays are in prime position to take the AL East for the first time in a decade.
Today, the bats are looking to rally behind rookie pitcher Trey Yesavage, who makes his big-league debut for the club. He'll be opposite of Joe Boyle, who's given up 15 earned runs across his last 9 1/3 innings. Ride the hot offense in this one and don't look back.
FanDuel, one of the best Ontario sports betting sites, offers -118 betting odds on the moneyline, which nets out a profit of $8.47 on a $10 bet. The -118 odds have an implied probability of 54.1%.

🔥 Trey Yesavage Over 4.5 strikeouts (-114) ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Tampa Bay strikes out the 10th-most in baseball, and the Rays are going up against a kid that has done nothing but deliver big K numbers throughout his time in the minors.
Yesavage leads all of professional baseball this year with a 31% K-BB percentage, owning a sub-1.000 WHIP across a minimum of 20 starts. In Triple-A, he owned a K rate of 36.1% with all five of his pitches delivering a strike percentage above 50%. He's ultimately struck out 160 batters in only 98 professional innings this year.
Yesavage has one of the more unique deliveries and pitch-movement profiles you'll find in baseball, and no matter how you slice it, the rookie will be in the zone tonight. Without having any knowledge of what's coming, we'll be seeing a ton of swing and miss.
If that wasn't enough, manager John Schneider has already said that Yesavage will not be on a pitch or innings limit, so the sky really is the limit for us here. It also helps that he'll essentially be pitching in a minor-league ballpark at George M. Steinbrenner Field, so he should feel right at home.
A $10 wager on Yesavage's Over pays out a profit of $8.77 at FanDuel. The -114 odds have an implied probability of 53.30%.
🔥 Trey Yesavage velocity of first pitch between 94-94.9 MPH (+180) ⭐⭐⭐
Now this is a fun one.
Yesavage's four-seam fastball usually sits at 92-95 MPH with a ton of armside run. In his first major-league start, with the adrenaline and blood pumping, I'm thinking he not only starts off his first hitter with a heater but will be sitting in the high end of that range. I'm sprinkling a half-unit on this ahead of first pitch.
A $10 wager on this Trey Yesavage prop pays out a profit of $18 at FanDuel. His +180 odds have an implied probability of 35.7%.

❓ Blue Jays vs. Rays FAQs
When is Trey Yesavage making his MLB debut?
Trey Yesavage is set to make his major-league debut tonight at 7:35 p.m. ET against the Rays in Tampa Bay.
What pitches does Trey Yesavage throw?
Yesavage features a strong four-pitch mix, headlined by a mid-80s slider/cutter that offers significant depth rather than just side-to-side movement. His fastball sits 93-95 mph and can touch 98, generating good carry from a high release point. He also throws a low-80s spike curveball and a splitter at similar speeds, both of which are effective at generating swings and misses.
How do baseball odds work?
When betting on MLB, the run line shows how many runs the favorite needs to win by in order to cash the bet. For example, a favorite of -1.5 must win by two or more runs to cover the run line, while an underdog at +1.5 must win outright or lose by one run to cover the run line.
Moneyline odds represent the payout for picking the outright winner (+200 means a $100 bet wins $200, while -200 means a $200 bet wins $100). Over/Unders let you wager on whether the combined total of runs will be higher or lower than the set number.
