Yankees vs. Blue Jays Player Prop Bets: Today's ALDS Game 1 Predictions
We're only hours away from the AL East rival New York Yankees and Toronto Blue Jays opening their AL Division Series, and my best Yankees vs. Blue Jays player prop bets today will have you all set for Game 1. The Blue Jays are the -130 home betting favorite ahead of first pitch from Rogers Centre in Toronto at 4:08 p.m. ET (FOX).
Despite being the underdog today, the Yankees have the third-best World Series odds - shorter than the Blue Jays - as they start the best-of-5 series.
My MLB picks expect New York to get off to a strong start, featuring two combo props Over at the plate for the visitors, and fading the home team's starting pitcher.

Our MLB player prop odds tool shows the best odds for every market across legal sportsbooks in your area.
⬆️ Jazz Chisholm Jr. Over 0.5 hits, runs, and RBIs (-165) ⭐⭐⭐⭐
The Yankees might not have won their wild-card matchup without the heroics of Jazz Chisholm Jr., who managed to do it all. He played strong defense, hustled on the base paths, and was solid at the plate.
And that’s after he wasn’t in the starting lineup for Game 1.
Chisholm recorded two hits and two runs over the last two games, helping the Yankees earn a comeback win over the Red Sox. He should have no problem finding a spot in the starting lineup against Toronto right-hander Kevin Gausman, considering he's posted an .843 OPS against righties.
While this -165 price tag might seem steep, DraftKings charges as much as -179 for the same ticket. At BetMGM, a $10 bet on this prop nets $6.06.
⬆️ Ben Rice Over 1.5 hits, runs, and RBIs (+111) ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Like Chisholm, Rice wasn’t in the lineup against a left-handed pitcher in Game 1 against Boston. But he was on the card against a righty in Game 2, delivering two hits, two RBIs, and one run during a 4-3 win.
Rice has posted an OPS of .860 against right-handers this year, recording 97 hits, 47 RBIs, and 57 runs across 128 games. I’m not sure New York manager Aaron Boone deserved all the criticism he received for keeping Rice on the bench against Garrett Crochet, but the skipper won't need to worry about that in this situation.
DraftKings offers a +111 price tag on this prop, which would provide $11.10 on a $10 wager.
⬇️ Kevin Gausman Under 6.5 strikeouts (-129) ⭐⭐⭐⭐
This line is 5.5 at most of the other best sports betting sites, indicating where DraftKings might move to before first pitch. I would even like a plus-money Under on 5.5 strikeouts.
Toronto right-hander Kevin Gausman has faced the Yankees four times this year. He’s averaging 4.5 strikeouts per start, failing to clear this number in three of the four matchups.
Hmight not last as long in Game 1 (his outs prop is 16.5), so I like the value on this Under to earn $7.75 on a $10 bet.
