Bettors have been so eager to take the Yankees and the Over with their power surge heading into the All-Star break that they’ve been cutting in line at sportsbooks. This has made it profitable for those willing to fade the Bombers, especially their high-scoring tendencies. I cashed the Jays-Yankees “1st Inning No” (that there would not be a score by either team) at +135 on Friday night and at +150 on Saturday afternoon.

Despite their hot streak, the Yankees have hit just 53.4 percent this season with the “1st Inning Yes” entering the weekend. That’s above the 52.3 percent needed to show a profit betting the standard vig of -110, but the fair pricing shouldn’t have been much higher than -115, so those “No” prices were huge overlays.

Lines will be available Sunday morning. The public is likely going to be betting in anticipation of the Yankees bats bouncing back after scoring only one run Saturday. That might happen over the course of the game, but I’ll take even money or better that it’s a scoreless opening frame for the third straight day.

The Play: Blue Jays-Yankees “1st Inning No.”
