    The Toronto Blue Jays jumped out to a 4-0 lead against the Boston Red Sox on Wednesday night to cash our second straight Look of the Day, bringing us to 7-2 in our last nine picks. Let's keep this profit train rolling with our favorite MLB prop for Thursday's slate.

    Look of the Day: Corbin Burnes under 2.5 earned runs (-125 DraftKings)

    The Baltimore Orioles are taking on the New York Yankees in the final game of a three-game series on Thursday night, and we're looking for Burnes to shut down the Bronx Bombers in this one.

    Burnes went through a rough patch in August, but he's been brilliant over the last month. The veteran right-hander has given up only four earned runs over his last five starts. He has a 1.20 ERA, a 1.00 WHIP and a .211 opponent batting average in that span. Burnes is also coming off back-to-back scoreless outings against the red-hot Detroit Tigers.

    The Yankees present a scary matchup on the surface, but Burnes has been lights out against this lineup in his career. In 79 combined plate appearances against Burnes, current Yankees hitters are batting just .147 with a minuscule .204 xwOBA and a .234 xSLG. That's pure dominance.

    The Yankees also haven't been very good at the plate this month, as they rank only 15th in OPS and wRC+ against righties in September.
