The New York Yankees look to extend their winning streak when they host the Toronto Blue Jays on Friday night, and we have you covered with our best Blue Jays vs. Yankees player props based on the best sports betting sites.
The Yankees (65-45) are coming off an impressive road sweep of the Philadelphia Phillies and have won five straight games for the first time since early June. New York has not lost since the trade deadline, and slugger Jazz Chisholm has made an immediate impact.
We are excited to back him with one of our three player props in his Yankee Stadium debut, as the team prepares for a Blue Jays squad that has lost two straight and has the third-worst run differential (-85) in the American League.
The Yankees are -170 moneyline favorites, with first pitch from Yankee Stadium scheduled for 7:05 p.m. ET on Friday.

Blue Jays vs. Yankees expert picks
MLB picks made Friday at 6:45 a.m. ET.
Chisholm has a 1.400 OPS and four home runs in four games with the Yankees and now gets to take aim at the short porch in right field at Yankee Stadium for the first time in pinstripes. When Chisholm hit his fourth home run in the Phillies series, he became the second player in MLB history with four home runs in their first three games with any franchise and the first with two multi-home run games in their first three games with any franchise, per MLB's Sarah Langs. &n bsp;
The 17.39% implied probability seems low for a player as hot as Chisholm to hit a home run, especially since Gausman's 1.2 HR/9 rate is on pace to be his highest since 2019. Thus, we are looking to cash in on a big payday with this wager, which pays out $57.50 for every winning $10 wagered.
Best odds: +475 via Betway | Implied probability: 17.39%
Gausman has the unenviable task of facing a Yankees lineup that has averaged more than nine runs per game during their five-game winning streak. The addition of Chisholm and the return of Giancarlo Stanton from injury has made New York's lineup the deepest it has been since early in the first half of the season, and the Yankees have collectively slashed .305/.371/.579 since July 27.
This is a four-star play, as Gausman has been lit up in his career by the heart of the Yankees order. Juan Soto, Aaron Judge, a nd Stanton are a combined 25-for-69 (.362), with seven of the 12 extra-base hits being home runs. There is no line available for this wager, but we would expect Gausman's earned run total to be set at 2.5 and would play it up to 3.5 if we were getting plus-money odds to back the Over.
Best odds: -155 via Betway | Implied probability: 60.78%
Stroman has lost back-to-back home starts, but he ramps up the strikeouts when pitching at Yankee Stadium. The righty has 55 punchouts in 56 1/3 home innings and 28 strikeouts in 57 1/3 innings on the road. And even in the last two losses in the Bronx, Stroman has reached five-plus strikeouts.
The Blue Jays have struck out at the fourth-highest rate in the majors against right-handed pitchers on the road (28.3%) since July 15. As of this publication, there have been no pitcher prop odds posted at Betway, but some sportsbooks have Stroman's O /U set at 3.5 strikeouts, and at that number, I would even look to the alternate strikeout total and see if I could back Over of 4.5 strikeouts for plus-money odds.
