Toronto vs LA Dodgers World Series Game 3 Preview & Pick
Moneyline: LA Dodgers -200
Spread: LA Dodgers -1.5 (-102)
Total: 8.5
Toronto Blue Jays Betting Outlook
After splitting the opening two games of the World Series, the Toronto Blue Jays head to Los Angeles aiming to steal back momentum. Veteran ace Max Scherzer will take the mound, becoming the first pitcher ever to start a World Series game for four different franchises. That’s a fitting milestone for a future Hall of Famer chasing his third championship ring.
Scherzer looked sharp in his last outing, allowing just one earned run over 5 2/3 innings in the ALCS against Seattle. However, his regular-season form was shaky, going 1-3 with a 9.00 ERA across his final six starts. The Blue Jays will need his command and composure if they hope to silence a surging Dodgers lineup at Chavez Ravine.
Toronto’s offense exploded for 11 runs in Game 1, showing just how deep their lineup is from top to bottom. But they struggled to adjust to Yoshinobu Yamamoto’s dominance in Game 2. The key will be early plate discipline against Glasnow, forcing deep counts and driving up his pitch total.
Player Prop Pick (Blue Jays): Vladimir Guerrero Jr. Over 1.5 Total Bases — Guerrero’s power has been consistent throughout the postseason, and he’s due for another big hit against right-handers.
Los Angeles Dodgers Betting Outlook
The Dodgers responded to a Game 1 embarrassment by doing what elite teams do, punching right back. Yoshinobu Yamamoto’s complete game masterpiece in Game 2 reminded everyone why Los Angeles has one of the most dangerous pitching staffs in baseball. With the series shifting home, Tyler Glasnow gets the ball and brings plenty of confidence into his start.
Glasnow has been nearly untouchable this postseason, sporting a 0.68 ERA with 18 strikeouts over 13 1/3 innings. His last outing against Milwaukee was a gem, and he’s now allowed just one earned run across his last three appearances. The only question is his past struggles against Toronto, a 5.82 ERA in 11 career regular-season starts, but current form suggests he’s finally figured it out.
The Dodgers’ lineup is regaining rhythm, led by Will Smith, who broke out with a home run and three RBIs in Game 2. Freddie Freeman and Mookie Betts continue to grind out at-bats, and with Glasnow pitching deep into games, the Dodgers are now 9-0 this postseason when their starter lasts at least six innings.
Player Prop Pick (Dodgers): Will Smith To Record an RBI — Smith’s timing looks locked in, and he thrives under pressure situations at home.
Expert Betting Outlook & MLB Prediction
Los Angeles enters as a -200 moneyline favorite, with the total set at 8.5 runs. The Dodgers’ pitching edge is undeniable, but Scherzer’s veteran savvy gives Toronto a fighting chance to keep this one close early. Expect Los Angeles to break through late as their offense wears down the Blue Jays’ bullpen.
The Dodgers take Game 3, covering the run line (-1.5) and pushing the total slightly under in a tight duel.
Score Prediction: Dodgers 5, Blue Jays 3
Pick: LA Dodgers -1.5 (-102)
Total: Under 8.5 (-115)
