Dodgers vs. Yankees Friday July 17 Best Betting Picks and Props

The All-Star Break ended Thursday with one game — Phillies-Mets — and the rest of the league is back in the batter's box on Friday.

Rested and ready, here are a look at tonight's best bets.

Dodgers at Yankees, 7:05 p.m. ET

Streaks took these teams into the break and set the stage for their first meeting at Yankee Stadium since the 2024 World Series.

The Yankees won four in a row before the break and the Dodgers lost three consecutive games. They also had to address the ailing knee of Shohei Ohtani, who Is expected to play but unlikely to pitch in the three game-set.

Gerrit Cole (3-4, 4.04 ERA), who was on the mound for Game 5 of the 2024 World Series, starts for the Yankees. Cole last pitched July 8 when he allowed three runs on seven hits in 6 1/3 innings of a 3-0 loss at Tampa Bay.

Cole is 4-2 with a 5.01 ERA in eight career regular season starts against the Dodgers.

Roki Sasaki (3-5, 5.33) starts for the Dodgers and is 0-2 with a 5.86 ERA in his past seven starts entering his first career appearance against the Yankees. Sasaki last pitched July 8 and took a no-decision in a 4-3 win over Colorado when he allowed three runs on four hits in six innings.

White Sox at Blue Jays, 7:15 p.m. ET

The White Sox haven't seen a lot of right-hander Spencer Miles (4-1, 2.85), but he gets the ball in the opener of a seven-game homestand. He has faced the White Sox once, tossing two scoreless innings in relief on April 5.

Chicago's inconsistent offense led to a downturn in production, but the White Sox swept the A's in response to a punchless series sweep prior to that at the hands of the Red Sox. Contact rate, and a high strikeout rate, are issues for the group and Miles is capable of missing bats. He has four starts with more than four strikeouts.

Blue Jays P Spencer Miles over 3.5 strikeouts (-132 DraftKings)
