After two close games, Game 3 of the Yankees- Blue Jays series is shaping up to be another thrilling low-scoring affair with both teams unleashing their sub -2.00 pitchers.

The New York Yankees returned to their winning ways after taking Games 1 (7-6) and 2 (5-4) in their AL East series with the Toronto Blue Jays.

Caesars Sportsbook installed the Yankees as the favorite to take Game 3 and sweep the Jays, pricing them at -178 moneyline and +122 to cover -1.5 runs.

The Bronx Bombers, who hold a 3-7 record against the spread in their last 10 games, have averaged 5.3 runs and 8.4 hits per game on a .254 BA over their last five assignments. Their pitching remains shaky as they have posted 4.67 ERA throughout this five-game stretch.

The Blue Jays plummeted to third in the AL East with a 21-27 record following back-to-back losses to the Yankees. Toronto has also gone 5-10 in its last 15 games and 2-7 in its last 9 road games.

Although the Blue Jays slightly improved their ERA from 4.06 in the season to 3.50 over the last five games, their average runs per game dipped from 4.2 this season to 3.5 during this five-game spell.

Toronto will jog onto the field as the road dog, currently pegged at +150 price on the moneyline and a -145 to cover +1.5 runs at Caesars Sportsbook. The sportsbook has readjusted the total for the third straight game, lowering it to 8.0 runs from 8.5 runs in Game 2 and 9.0 runs in Game 1.
