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.
