The New York Mets continue their road trip on Monday, June 29, with the opener of a three-game series against the Toronto Blue Jays at Rogers Centre. The matchup features veteran left-hander Sean Manaea taking the mound for New York against promising rookie Trey Yesavage for Toronto. With both teams looking to gain ground in their respective playoff races, this contest offers several intriguing betting opportunities.

From the moneyline to player props, here’s a breakdown of the best MLB gambling bets for Mets vs. Blue Jays on June 29.

Mets vs. Blue Jays Starting Pitchers

The Mets are expected to start Sean Manaea (1-2, 4.87 ERA). While the veteran left-hander has battled inconsistency this season, he remains capable of generating swings and misses with his fastball-slider combination. Manaea has recorded 60 strikeouts and is still working toward rediscovering the form that made him one of the more dependable starters in baseball.

Toronto will counter with rookie right-hander Trey Yesavage (3-3, 3.56 ERA). One of the Blue Jays’ top young arms, Yesavage has impressed during his first major league season with 58 strikeouts and the poise to pitch effectively against experienced lineups. His ability to limit walks and work ahead in the count has helped him become a reliable member of Toronto’s rotation.

Best Bet: Blue Jays Moneyline

Toronto enters this matchup with the edge on the mound and home-field advantage. Yesavage has been the more consistent starter throughout the season, while Manaea has struggled to string together quality outings. The Blue Jays also have the offensive firepower to capitalize if Manaea falls behind hitters early.

The Mets snapped a lengthy losing streak over the weekend, but they have still struggled to generate consistent offense during June. Toronto’s balanced lineup should create enough scoring opportunities to support its rookie starter.

Best Bet: Blue Jays Moneyline

Best Total Bet: Under 8.5 Runs

Although Rogers Centre can produce high-scoring games, this pitching matchup points toward a lower-scoring affair. Yesavage has consistently limited damage, while Manaea has the experience to keep Toronto’s lineup from erupting if he establishes his command early.

Both teams also possess capable late-inning relievers, making the under an attractive option if the starters can pitch into the sixth inning.

Pick: Under 8.5 Runs

Best Player Prop

Trey Yesavage Over Strikeouts

The Mets have struggled against quality right-handed pitching throughout the season, and Yesavage has shown the ability to miss bats. If he works six innings, clearing his strikeout total is a realistic expectation against a New York lineup that has been inconsistent offensively.

Final Prediction

Toronto appears to have the advantage entering Monday night’s opener. Yesavage has been one of the Blue Jays’ pleasant surprises this season, while Manaea continues to search for consistency. Playing at home should also benefit Toronto, especially if its lineup provides early run support.

Best Bets

• Blue Jays Moneyline
• Under 8.5 Runs
• Trey Yesavage Over Strikeouts

Prediction: Blue Jays 5, Mets 3.
