Pitching in this one are Mitch White for the Blue Jays and Gerrit Cole for the Yankees.
White is making his third start since moving above the border. He was traded from the Dodgers at the deadline. White's numbers have been almost identical since joining the Blue Jays.
After back-to-back horrible starts, Gerrit Cole seems to have straightened things out as he pitched seven shutout innings in his last start. However, despite that beautiful performance, his team lost 1-0.

Even when Cole was giving up runs like it was free candy, his strikeout totals didn't waiver. Cole is averaging 8.6 Ks in his last five starts and should have no problem hitting his prop tomorrow.
Gerrit Cole Over 7.5 Strikeouts (-104)
Cole will be trying to continue his shutout streak, and he will not lose it in the first inning. The ball hasn't exactly been jumping off the Yankees bats, so bettors shouldn't expect runs early in this one.
No Runs in the First Inning (-135)
