Monday’s schedule stacks a Monday Night Football doubleheader with a nine-game MLB slate. The sportsbook model leans Tampa Bay to win outright at +128 in the MNF matchup, while MLB bets center on Washington’s +144 against Atlanta and an Over 8 in Pittsburgh vs Chicago. Player props highlight Junior Caminero (Over 1.5 total bases) and Aaron Judge (Over 0.5 RBI). These bets shape early-week fantasy angles and daily fantasy leverage.

Washington’s momentum vs. a faltering Braves squad, plus the Pirates-Cubs run expectation, creates value opportunities. The night’s prop slate adds a cherry on top for DFS lineups and paras, with Caminero and Judge providing likely multi-positional upside.

George Springer is enjoying arguably one of the best seasons of his career, powering Toronto with a team-leading 29th homer and 75 RBIs as his .949 OPS ranks top among the Jays’ star-stacked lineup. The veteran’s presence is described as the spark that elevates the whole group, a vibe manager John Schneider calls essential to their win-big, have-fun identity.

Meanwhile, 22-year-old Trey Yesavage is set for a Monday MLB debut in Tampa Bay, a calculated move to keep the momentum rolling after an 11-2 throttling of Baltimore. Yesavage soaked in the moment and even leaned on Shane Bieber’s advice: be yourself, throw strikes, and enjoy the moment. Toronto frames this as adding talent, not experimenting, as they push toward the final stretch with a deep, adaptable roster.

The Jays finished an 87-62 mark with a 50th home win and a sweep-heavy homestand against Houston and Baltimore that further cements their place in a crowded AL landscape with two weeks left in the regular season.

Toronto hands Trey Yesavage a late-season MLB debut, opening a four-game set with the Rays. The 22-year-old right-hander roared through five levels in 2025 after the 2024 first-round pick dominated college, finishing with eye-popping minor-league numbers—160 strikeouts in 98 innings and a stingy .158 opponent average. The Jays preview a measured, potentially short leash start as they gauge his upside in a playoff-chasing stretch at Steinbrenner Field.

Yesavage’s unique over-the-top delivery and plus swing-and-miss arsenal—a fastball with late life, a sharp slider, and a deceptive splitter—give Toronto a high-upside option. While walks (41 in 98 innings) raise concerns, manager John Schneider stressed transparency and a clear path, with no innings limit announced. Family and confidants will be watching as the dream becomes reality.
