- The Blue Jays are +8000 to win the World Series.
- Toronto is among the three finalists for Roki Sasaki.
- Pursuits of Corbin Burnes and Juan Soto ended in disappointment.
After underachieving in 2024, the Toronto Blue Jays have endured a frustrating offseason.
Juan Soto and Corbin Burnes signed elsewhere. Vladimir Guerrero Jr. penned a record-breaking one-year contract in arbitration, but Toronto has made no progress on a potential extension ahead of Guerrero’s free agency at the end of the 2025 season.
Despite being finalists with the Los Angeles Dodgers and San Diego Padres for Roki Sasaki, baseball odds at the BetMGM online sportsbook have the Jays as an outsider to win their division. They have only a 25% implied probability of making the playoffs.
The Jays will get a decision from Sasaki before Jan. 23. They are also rumoured as “sleepers” to sign All-Star third baseman Alex Bregman. Jeff Hoffman is their main addition of the winter so far.
Toronto Blue Jays World Series Odds
After opening at +6000, the Blue Jays have drifted to +8000 to win the World Series as of Jan. 14.
Toronto Blue Jays odds to lift the Commissioner’s Trophy are the longest of all five AL East teams. Only three American League teams have longer odds to win the World Series.
Toronto Blue Jays American League Championship Odds
The Blue Jays are +4000 to win the American League in 2025. The Oakland Athletics, Chicago White Sox, and Los Angeles Angels have longer odds to represent the AL in the World Series.
The Tampa Bay Rays (+2200) are the only other team longer than +1600.
Toronto hasn’t won the American League since winning the second of back-to-back titles in 1993.
Toronto Blue Jays American League East Odds
The Blue Jays have by far the longest odds to win the American League East at +1800. They trail the Rays, who are +800.
Despite waving goodbye to Juan Soto in free agency, the New York Yankees are favoured to win the division at +110. New York has added Paul Goldschmidt, Devin Williams, and Max Fried in the offseason, while the Baltimore Orioles have lost Corbin Burnes.
The Boston Red Sox have been proactive all winter, including a blockbuster trade for Garrett Crochet. Boston also picked up Walker Buehler and Aroldis Chapman in free agency.
After finishing last in 2024 and 20 games behind the division-winning Yankees, I think it’s reasonable that the Jays are as long as +1800 to win the AL East. The Rays should be much improved with their pitching staff getting healthy, leaving the Jays with the least-talented roster unless they make some major moves before opening day.
Toronto Blue Jays Playoff Odds Predictions
The Blue Jays are +300 to make the playoffs as of Jan. 14. Toronto has the longest odds of any American League East team, with the Rays sitting at +260.
With the Yankees priced at -400 and the Orioles at -278 to make the playoffs, it’s a big ask for the Jays to return to the postseason.
It could be a very competitive race for the second and third wild-card spots, with several AL Central teams likely to be in the mix.
