The MLB presents an exciting slate on Canada Day, highlighted by the Yankees and Blue Jays matchup at 3:07 pm EDT. A total of ten games will kick off at 7:05 pm, setting the stage for fans and DFS players alike. Among the top pitchers, Yoshinobu Yamamoto stands out, facing the White Sox, while Jacob deGrom and Matthew Boyd also enter favorable matchups. Boyd is well-priced against a struggling Guardians offense, while Shane Baz, at a similar price point, faces the A's. For value picks, Colton Gordon and Emerson Hancock could offer solid returns given their matchups.

On the hitting side, stars like Julio Rodriguez and Randy Arozarena are in good form, facing Michael Lorenzen, whose strikeout rate has dipped. Stacking options abound, especially with the Atlanta offense against Tyler Anderson and Houston's matchup in Coors Field against Chase Dollander. Both provide intriguing choices for bettors looking to capitalize on the day's action.

The New York Yankees aim to bounce back against the Toronto Blue Jays in their July 1 matchup. Coming off a narrow loss in the series opener, the Yankees are looking to improve on their recent 6-5 record, with Max Fried taking the mound. He boasts a stellar 1.92 ERA and is set to face off against Toronto's Kevin Gausman, who has a 4.21 ERA. Both pitchers are coming off impressive outings, with Gausman and Fried combining for just one earned run across 15 innings in their last starts.

The Yankees have been resilient, having won 20 of their last 34 games after a defeat. The Blue Jays, riding a hot streak of their own, have won four out of their last five games. Betting odds favor the Yankees on the moneyline at -166, while the over/under is set at 8 runs. With both Fried and Gausman showcasing their talents, fans can expect an exciting pitchers' duel in Toronto.

As we hit Week 14 of the fantasy baseball season, several starting pitchers have emerged as intriguing waiver wire pickups. Jacob Lopez from the Athletics has dramatically turned his season around, boasting a remarkable 0.39 ERA over his last four outings. Utilizing his slider and changeup more effectively has contributed to this success.

Kumar Rocker of the Texas Rangers, previously a highly-rated prospect, has begun to show his potential with a solid 2.20 ERA in his last three starts but still has work to do on his other pitches. Mike Soroka, now with the Nationals, has also found a rhythm, posting a 3.49 ERA since June 1 as he focuses on improving his changeup.

Eric Lauer of the Blue Jays has revitalized his career after a rough past, sporting a 3.32 ERA across four recent starts. Lastly, Quinn Priester’s impressive performance with a 2.30 ERA since joining the Brewers makes him another must-watch player. Fantasy managers should consider these pitchers as viable options for bolstering their rosters.

The Toronto Blue Jays edged past the New York Yankees 5-4 in a thrilling contest at Rogers Centre, marking their second consecutive victory in the AL East. After a scoreless first three innings, the Yankees took an early lead with two runs in the fourth. However, the Blue Jays responded powerfully with a four-run rally in the sixth, shifting the game in their favor.

Despite leading 5-3 heading into the seventh, the Blue Jays faced a potential setback when George Springer exited the game following a concerning collision at third base with Jazz Chisholm Jr. Fortunately, Springer was reported to be 'okay' after medical evaluation, easing concerns as he was a key contributor with two hits before his departure. This incident highlights the need for the Blue Jays, who are in the thick of the postseason race, to keep their star players healthy as they approach the All-Star break.

In a tight AL East race, the New York Yankees sit atop the standings, just 1.5 games ahead of the Tampa Bay Rays and three ahead of the Toronto Blue Jays. Despite their strong position, they face challenges, notably with outfielder Trent Grisham, who exited Monday's game against the Blue Jays early due to left hamstring tightness. Grisham was having a solid season with 15 homers and 32 RBI, already matching his career-high in home runs. Meanwhile, Yankees' infielder Jazz Chisholm Jr. hit a pivotal two-run homer in the fourth inning of the game.

Starting pitcher Max Scherzer made his return for the Blue Jays, allowing only two runs in five innings. As the series continues, both teams are vying for critical wins to solidify their playoff positions.
