New York's offense looks to bounce back after a poor showing in the first game. The offense ranks No. 1 in runs scored, third in on-base percentage, and No. 1 in slugging. Max Fried has a 2.37 ERA at home, but that jumps to 3.28 on the road, where he's given up 10 of his 14 homers. He also has a 4.07 ERA against Toronto in 2025, including two losses in this park of 8-4 and 12-5. The bullpen has been the worst in the playoffs (8.25 ERA) after ranking 23rd (4.37 ERA) during the season. Toronto's offense was fourth in scoring during the regular season and No. 1 in on-base percentage. They pounded out 14 hits in a 10-1 Game 1 victory. Rookie Trey Yesavage makes just his fourth start, and the bullpen is 16th in ERA (3.98). Take New York/Toronto OVER the total.
