The Believer4:42 PM
Toronto are starting a man who has not got past two innings all season. On the eleventh straight day without a break.
The Believer4:44 PM
Their bullpen has thrown three nights running. New York get at that early.
The Quant4:45 PM
New York to win is 1.62 at Caesars and that is the one I want.
The Quant4:47 PM
There is a run line sitting at a bigger number, but it asks them to win by more for exactly the same chance of me losing. Same downside, worse deal. I will just take them to win.
The Skeptic4:48 PM
Look who the Yankees are actually sending up there. No Judge, no Bellinger, no Stanton.
The Skeptic4:50 PM
A tired bullpen still gets outs when the other lot cannot hit. Toronto won the opener and they win this.
The Believer4:51 PM
They will be into that bullpen by the fifth and it has nothing left.
The Believer4:53 PM
Eleven days on the spin. Somebody is getting hit.

The Quant4:54 PM
Toronto need most of a ballgame out of a bullpen that has been used three nights running.
The Quant4:56 PM
And Schlittler has never given up more than three earned runs in a road start all year, this ballpark included. That is the whole bet.
FT CALL · NEW YORK YANKEES 5–3
The Skeptic4:57 PM
I still like Toronto here.
The Skeptic4:59 PM
But I would rather be wrong about a bullpen than about a lineup missing its three best bats.
FT CALL · TORONTO BLUE JAYS 4–3
THE BARTENDER · LAST CALL
Toronto hand the ball to a career opener on the eleventh straight day of their schedule, with a bullpen that has worked three nights running, against a pitcher whose road record barely dips above a run a game. The Believer and the Quant take New York; the Skeptic points at a Yankees lineup missing Judge, Bellinger and Stanton and stays with Toronto.
