Analysis
The Toronto Blue Jays will play against the New York Yankees in a doubleheader at Yankee Stadium on Sunday, April 27, 2025, after a rain delay forced Saturday's game to be postponed. The opening match between the Toronto Blue Jays and New York Yankees will start at 1:35 PM ET. The Yankees will start their opening game with left-hander Max Fried while the Blue Jays will respond with right-hander Kevin Gausman. Max Fried leads the season with four wins and no losses while maintaining a 1.42 ERA. He pitched 7 2/3 scoreless innings and gave up only two hits in his most recent performance against the Tampa Bay Rays. Kevin Gausman has achieved a 2-2 record along with a 3.16 ERA and a 0.86 WHIP during his initial five starts. He recorded a 3.26 ERA and 0.88 WHIP throughout 19 1/3 innings but remains winless with two road losses over three starts. Entering Sunday the Blue Jays' offense struggled with a slugging percentage of .348 placing them 26th and home runs totaling 14 putting them 29th in the league. The Blue Jays' key players Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and George Springer have been slow to generate power numbers since Guerrero managed only one RBI across his last eight games and Springer three during his previous ten. With Fried's recent performance excellence and the Blue Jays' ongoing offensive difficulties, betting on the under for the first five innings seems advantageous. This game one pitching matchup is a excellent one and with the Jays not really hitting, I'm taking this 1st 5 innings under. Jim's Play: Tor/Nyy UNDER 1st 5 Innings (Game 1)
