The Yankees are starting the AL Cy Young favorite in Cam Schlittler, but despite his 2.19 ERA and 0.94 WHIP, New York is 0-4 in his last four starts. One of those losses came against the Blue Jays on Saturday in a 4-1 final despite Schlittler allowing just one run over 5⅓ innings. Toronto has been playing some of its best baseball recently, going 7-3 in its last 10 games, all coming against the top three teams in the AL East. Toronto has also covered a +1.5 spread in nine of its last 10 games, including all three contests against the Yankees last weekend, leading the model to project the Blue Jays to cover in 60% of simulations.

"I pretty much need a significant reason why I wouldn't take a home team getting points in the preseason," SportsLine expert Matt Severance said. "It's not like either side cares. And there are ties once in a blue moon ... as in last week between the Patriots and Colts. It does appear we might get a matchup for a few series between former No. 1 overall picks in Bryce Young and Trevor Lawrence. Jags coach Liam Coen has been on the fence, but Lawrence previously has played in two games per year. This marks a third straight away game (including HOF in Canton) for the Panthers. That has to mean something. Jacksonville is eyeing a third 3-0 preseason in the past four years." Back the Jaguars by claiming the latest BetMGM bonus code CBSSPORTS here :
"These numbers are clear overreactions to the Broncos crushing the Falcons, 27-7, in Week 1, but maybe Denver's overall roster is that much better than Atlanta's," Severance said. "I would put Green Bay on the same overall tier in the NFL or at least close. Packers coach Matt LaFleur is expected to play his starters a bit. The Pack were one of two teams without a touchdown in Week 1 of the preseason. Perhaps that's motivation? Jordan Love didn't look good in his brief action. The big news is the return of injury of Broncos QB Bo Nix, but he will be kept in "Lanters" bubble wrap for his series or maybe two. If Nix scrambles on the second play, Sean Payton might pull him. Denver has the NFL's longest active preseason winning streak at eight in a row, but six points?" Back the Packers by claiming the latest BetMGM bonus code CBSSPORTS here :
