This is the first series this season between the Mets and Blue Jays.
Here are the odds, probable pitchers, and predictions for Mets vs. Blue Jays on Monday, June 29.

- Mets: Sean Manaea (1-2, 4.87 ERA)
- Blue Jays: Trey Yesavage (3-3, 3.56 ERA)
Sean Manaea has been solid since missing the start of the season due to injury. His last start was the worst of his three so far, though, allowing four runs (three earned) on six hits in just three innings against the Cubs.
Trey Yesavage saw his ERA rise over the last few weeks. He did allow just one run in 5.2 innings last time out, though, and went 7.1 innings with three runs allowed prior to that.

Mets vs. Blue Jays Best MLB Prop Bets
Blue Jays Best MLB Prop Bet
- Trey Yesavage UNDER 6.5 Strikeouts (-142)
Trey Yesavage burst onto the scene late last season with a handful of impressive starts, including in the World Series. However, the youngster’s strikeout stuff hasn’t been quite as sharp this season.
Yesavage has gone UNDER 6.5 strikeouts in all but one start this season as his K/9 sits at 8.6. He’s finished with exactly six strikeouts in five starts, so this could be a bit of a sweat, but I think it’s a good bet at this price.
Mets vs. Blue Jays Prediction and Pick
I broke down this pick in SI Betting’s daily MLB best bets column, Walk-Off Wagers:
Toronto is six games under .500 on the season, but the Jays have gone 12-9 against lefthanded starters. That’s bad news for Sean Manaea, who has allowed nine runs (seven earned) in 14.1 innings this season.
Despite his strikeout numbers dropping, Yesavage has put together a few good starts in a row, allowing 4 ER in 13 IP across his last two outings.
I’ll take the Jays to bounce back at home against a Mets squad that is 16-25 on the road this season.
Pick: Blue Jays -122

Badenoch blasts 'moaning' female Labour MPs over Burnham jobs 'quota'
Kemi Badenoch has told Labour women to earn a job in Andy Burnham's Cabinet instead of demanding they are handed jobs because of their gender.
The Tory leader lashed out today amid reports that female MPs are demanding the de-facto new prime minister introduce a 50:50 gender split 'quota' in his government.
Amid reports that former foreign secretary David Miliband is being lined up to return to the role, possibly with his brother Ed as Chancellor, one female minister also complained that Burnham could not have 'more Milibands than women' in the top posts.
But in a scathing article in the Times today Mrs Badenoch told them to 'stop moaning' and get chosen on merit instead of retreating into 'more of the failed identity politics that is holding back our country'.
'There are many, many reasons why you shouldn't have any Milibands in the cabinet,' she said.
'But complaining that the boys haven't given them the right jobs or that the boys are taking all the jobs, just shows that Labour's women still don't get it.'
The idea of quotas was also attacked by Baroness Jacqui Smith, Labour's Skills Minister.
Asked by Times Radio if Mr Burnham should reserve jobs for women, she said: 'No, I think what Andy Burnham should be doing is building the very best team around him to change this country.'
A letter written by the Women's Parliamentary Labour Party has called on Mr Burnham to ensure a 50:50 split between men and women in government jobs
Amid reports that former foreign secretary David Miliband (above, right, in 2010) is being lined up to return to the role, possibly with his brother Ed as Chancellor, one female minister complained that Burnham could not have 'more Milibands than women' in the top posts
But Mrs Badenoch told them to pipe down and get chosen on merit instead of retreating into 'more of the failed identity politics that is holding back our country'
A letter written by the Women's Parliamentary Labour Party and seen by the BBC has called on Mr Burnham to ensure a 50:50 split between men and women in government jobs after he succeeds Sir Keir Starmer.
'We are asking you to demonstrate this change from day one and address the toxicity and misogyny within our own party and government,' it said.
Labour has never had a female leader, while the Conservatives have had three, and Mrs Badenoch urged the government to follow its meritocratic example.
'If you run a meritocracy, then you do not have to worry about jobs for the boys,' she wrote.
'Every woman who is a Conservative MP, every woman who has ever won the leadership, has had to fight to get where she is.
'By contrast, Labour women are demanding guarantees from Burnham. But the truth is he doesn't have to give any guarantees.
'If none of Labour's women are prepared to get their hands dirty and challenge him for the leadership, their demands are toothless.'
'In fact, it's quite revealing that the women's parliamentary Labour Party has written to Burnham asking him to commit himself to at least 50 per cent female ministers.
'This has nothing to do with meritocracy. It is yet more of the failed identity politics that is holding back our country.'
