WATCH: Top MLB Player Prop for Toronto Blue Jays vs. New York Yankees

The New York Yankees open up a three-game series against the Toronto Blue Jays on Tuesday night and will send left-hander Jordan Montgomery to the mound. Montgomery is 3-1 with a 3.99 ERA and I’m taking him to go Under 5.5 strikeouts against the Blue Jays tonight (odds courtesy of DraftKings Sportsbook). 

Montgomery has 65 strikeouts in his 12 starts this season. He’s hit this Under in six of those 12 starts. He faced this Toronto lineup on May 27 and only had one strikeout against them in the 4.2 innings he lasted in that one. 

The Blue Jays have among the lowest number of strikeouts in the league this year, with 540. They also have 138 strikeouts against left-handed pitchers, a 22.4 percent strikeout rate, and a 22.7 percent strikeout rate against left-handers, all among the lowest league. 

See more about this pick and why Toronto’s average strikeouts per game stat convinced me to take the Under on Montgomery’s strikeouts against them tonight. Also, visit our MLB page for more information on this game and all of our Best Bets.
