For the second leg of his same-game parlay, Mike DiStefano took Under 8.5 runs. He projected a classic pitchers’ duel with Max Fried (4-0, 1.42 ERA, two earned runs or fewer in every 2025 start) facing Kevin Gausman (career success vs NYY, 3.16 ERA this year). Toronto’s offense is sputtering at just 2.5 runs per game over its last six contests, while Gausman has historically limited Yankee power. With both aces in mid-season form and the Blue Jays’ bats ice-cold, DiStefano believes neither club reaches four runs, making the Under 8.5 a strong value play in the Bronx.
