Blue Jays vs Dodgers – Game Preview, Prediction and Player Props
Moneyline: LA Dodgers -161
Total: 8.5
RunLine: LA Dodgers -1.5 (+125)
Toronto Blue Jays Betting Outlook
Toronto’s bats were scorching in Colorado, scoring 45 runs over three games, but they came back to earth in Friday’s 5-1 loss in L.A. Despite collecting 10 hits, they plated just one run, continuing a season-long trend of stranding runners.
Chris Bassitt (11-5, 4.12 ERA) gets the start, coming off a strong outing where he allowed just one hit and one run over six innings versus Kansas City. Unfortunately, his bullpen let it slip away. Historically, Bassitt has struggled against the Dodgers (1-3, 6.31 ERA in 5 starts), and limiting damage against this lineup will be a tall order in a hitter-friendly park.
Blue Jays Player Prop Pick: Addison Barger Over 1.5 Total Bases – Riding a hot streak from the Colorado series and two hits in Game 1.
Los Angeles Dodgers Betting Outlook
Blake Snell (1-1, 3.21 ERA) makes his second start back from a four-month IL stint due to a shoulder injury. In his return, he struck out 19 batters via whiffs and held Tampa Bay to three runs in five innings. His changeup and slider were sharp, though fastball command is still coming around.
Snell owns a 2.55 ERA in 15 career starts vs. Toronto, making him a favorable matchup choice here. Mookie Betts looked like he’s turning a corner Friday with a two-run homer and three RBIs, potentially signaling the end of his slump.
The Dodgers have dropped 11 of their last 12 against other division leaders, so this series offers a good chance to make a statement.
Dodgers Player Prop Pick: Mookie Betts to Record an RBI – Coming off a big game and hitting in prime run-producing spots.
Prediction & Betting Angle
The Dodgers have the pitching edge with Snell’s track record against Toronto, plus home-field advantage. Bassitt is capable, but his history vs. L.A. and the Jays’ recent situational hitting struggles tilt this matchup toward the home side.
Final Score Prediction: Dodgers 5, Blue Jays 3
Lean: LA Dodgers -1.5 (+125)
Total: Under 8.5 (-110)
