New York Yankees vs Toronto Blue Jays

Pick: Yankees ML (-145)

Analysis: Max Fried has been a dominant force for the Yankees with an 11-3 record and a 2.43 ERA. Chris Bassitt has been solid, but the Yankees’ lineup should give Fried enough run support.

San Diego Padres vs Miami Marlins

Pick: Padres ML (-145)

Analysis: Despite Dylan Cease’s rocky season, the Marlins’ Sandy Alcantara has an inflated ERA of 7.14. Expect San Diego’s offense to shine.
