Gambling911.com has your Yankees vs. Blue Jays series betting picks and daily fantasy sports plays for May 4 through 6.
The Series Overall: This series has been split overall with neither club having any advantage. Seven of the last nine games in the series have gone UNDER 7.5, making Monday May 4 UNDER 9 especially enticing as one of our Monday free picks.
May 4 - The Starting Pitchers: Yankees RH Chase Whitley (1-0, 1.80 ERA) vs. Blue Jays RH R.A. Dickey (0-3, 5.23)
The 25-year-old Whitley surrendered one run and six hits while striking out five in his season debut last Tuesday. He did not fare well against Toronto last season, giving up 13 runs and 19 hits in a total of nine innings pitched during two starts. His last five games pitching five or more innings in 2015 resulted in no more than 2 runs per game.
Dioner Navarro poses the biggest threat to Whitley as he has gone 4-for-6 against him, however, lucky for Whitley, Navarro currently sits on the DL.
Dickey made his season debut at New York on April 8 and allowed one run on four hits and three walks in 6 1/3 innings without factoring in the decision.
May 4 – DFS Picks: Alex Rodriguez would make for a pretty reliable roster pick Monday priced around $3600. He has gone 8-for-24 against Dickey with 2 doubles and 2 RBIs along with a homerun.
May 5 - The Starting Pitchers: Yankees Michael Pineda vs. Blue Jays Marco Estrada.
Pineda has allowed no fewer than 5 hits in his first five starts of the season. The Yankees have not permitted more than 5 runs in any of those starts either.
Estrada will join the rotation for this game.
May 4 – DFS Picks: NA
