This is a 10* AL EAST TOY on the OVER Jays/Yanks.

Previous to hits 4-3 loss to Cleveland, the Jays had seen the total go OVER the number in three straight. Toronto will be out to avoid a three-game slide here in The Big Apple.

The Yanks have now seen the total go UNDER in four straight.

Two really good pitching staffs, but also two teams that are loaded with hitting talent.

Totals are down around the league these days, but we're expecting some offensive fireworks in the opener of this series.

The Yanks had scored 79 runs in winning 12 of their past 14 games before Wednesday's 2-1 loss at Toronto.

After getting out to a 12-6 start, the ays have gone 5-7 in their last 12 games.

New York goes with Luis Severino (2-0, 3.75 ERA) to start, while Toronto counters with Yusei Kikuchi (1-1, 4.35).

The starters have been decent, but the overall situation here points to a bit more of a slug-fest in this opener than what the oddsmakers are trying to lead us to believe.

This number is low, the play is the OVER.

Good luck, NP
