Fans can easily get familiar with betting on the Toronto Blue Jays at the BetMGM online sportsbook. BetMGM provides an array of MLB betting markets for every Jays game.
As of today, the Blue Jays’ odds of winning the World Series are +2500.
Placing wagers is a straightforward experience once the different bet types and odds are understood.
Toronto Blue Jays Betting: Most Popular MLB Wagers
The concepts of the most popular baseball betting markets will be familiar to fans who have wagered on other sports. Lines for baseball games are very similar to what fans might see when betting on the NHL, NBA, or NFL.
Blue Jays Betting: Spread (Run Line)
Betting on the spread is a wager on whether a team will cover the run line. Most MLB run lines are 1.5, with the favoured team at -1.5.
For example, if the Blue Jays are -1.5 against the New York Yankees, the Jays would need to win by two runs for the bet to pay out. Alternatively, if the Jays are +1.5, a bet would win if they won the game or lost by one run.
Blue Jays Betting: Total (Over/Under)
Bettors can wager on the total for every Blue Jays game. The sportsbook sets a line, and bettors then wager on whether there will be over or under that number of runs in the game.
If the line is 7.5, for instance, a bet on the under would win if the teams combined for seven or fewer runs. A bet on the over would win if eight or more runs were scored.
Blue Jays Betting: Moneyline
The moneyline is a straight bet on which team will win the game (including extra innings). The favoured team has shorter odds than the underdog.
The Blue Jays might be -150 to beat the Boston Red Sox. A $10 wager could yield $6.70 in winnings.
Blue Jays Betting: Parlays
Parlays are when multiple picks are combined in a single wager. All of the selections must win for the bet to pay out.
For example, a fan could parlay the Jays to cover the run line with the Seattle Mariners to win their game. Combining picks results in longer odds and larger potential payouts.
Blue Jays Betting: Same-Game Parlays
A Blue Jays same-game parlay is when multiple picks from one game are combined. This could be the Jays to win, the over to hit, and Vladimir Guerrero Jr. to hit a home run.
Like standard parlays, all of the selections need to land for the bet to pay out.
Blue Jays Betting: Prop Bets
Prop bets are split into game, team, and player props. A game prop is a bet on a market related to the whole game, but it’s not affected by which team wins.
Team props include wagers like ‘Toronto Blue Jays to have over 6.5 hits’, while player props are wide-ranging from whether a player will hit a home run to how many strikeouts the starting pitcher will have.
Blue Jays Betting: Futures Bets
Futures bets at BetMGM go far beyond whether the Jays will win the World Series. Baseball fans can find Blue Jays odds on their win total, the AL East, whether they’ll make the playoffs, and if they will reach the Fall Classic.
Markets are also live for MVP, Cy Young, and Rookie of the Year awards, featuring several Blue Jays players.
Blue Jays Betting: Live Betting
Live betting refers to any wager made once the game has started.
Blue Jays odds are updated consistently throughout every game. Bettors need to act quickly when placing live bets.
Blue Jays Betting: First Five-Inning Bets
BetMGM provides options to bet on the first innings of games. The moneyline, total, and spread are available.
This works in the same way as wagers on the full length of the game. A moneyline bet, for example, only pays out if the team is leading at the end of the fifth inning. The total is calculated based on how many runs each team has scored when the final out of the fifth is recorded.
Blue Jays Betting: NRFI/YRFI
NRFI and YRFI refer to “no run first inning” and “yes run first inning,” respectively.
As it sounds, these bets are on whether a run will be scored in the first inning. NRFI/YRFI bets are very popular for Blue Jays games – they are a good way to place a wager and get a quick outcome rather than waiting for the conclusion of the game.
