Prop Bets: New York Yankees VS Toronto Blue Jays 2025-07-01
Yankees vs. Blue Jays: A July 1st Fireworks Show (or a Dismal Duds Derby?)
The New York Yankees (48-35) and Toronto Blue Jays (45-38) collide on Monday, July 1st, in a matchup that’s as predictable as a Maple Leafs fan complaining about the Leafs. The Yankees, led by the unhittable (or so they hope) Carlos Rodon (9-5, 2.92 ERA), are favored to stomp the Jays, per the odds: Yankees -180, Blue Jays +150. The total is set at 8 runs (Over -110 / Under -110), which feels about right—this isn’t a 2024 NL West slugfest we’re talking about.
Pitcher Props: Scherzer’s ERA is a Joke, and He Knows It
The Blue Jays’ Max Scherzer (0-0, 5.63 ERA) is here to make you question your life choices. The prop bets are already laughing at him: Under 6.5 strikeouts (-200) is the line, and honestly, who can blame the books? Scherzer’s been a cyborg in the past, but this year? He’s more “cyborg with a broken leg.” The Yankees’ lineup—Aaron Judge (2 HRs in his last game, per CBS!)—is primed to treat Scherzer like a piñata.
Player Props: Judge is Coming for Your Soul
Speaking of Judge, the books have him at Over 0.5 hits (-185) and Over 1.5 home runs (-135). Take the Over on both. The man hit two bombs off Toronto last time—why stop now? For schadenfreude lovers, take Under 6.5 strikeouts on Scherzer (-200). The Yankees’ contact hitters (hello, DJ LeMahieu!) will make him look like a rookie.
The Verdict: Yankees Win, 5-2
Rodon (-130) will outduel Scherzer, the Yankees’ bats will scratch out a few runs, and the Jays’ offense will sulk in the dugout again. Prop bets to make: Judge Over 0.5 hits, Scherzer Under 6.5 Ks, and Over 8 runs (if you’re feeling spicy).
Final Score Prediction: Yankees 5, Blue Jays 2. Toronto’s offense? Still waiting for the “A” train. 🚂⚾
