2025 Blue Jays Playoff Odds, Predictions, & Best Bets

The Toronto Blue Jays are on a 24-14 run. As of June 20, they occupy a wild-card spot in the American League.

Toronto’s baseball odds at the BetMGM online sportsbook have fluctuated considerably throughout the season. 

Toronto Blue Jays World Series Odds

The Blue Jays are +3500 to win the World Series. Out at +8000 a few weeks ago, the Jays have shortened from +6600 two weeks ago to +3500 as of June 20. 

The Toronto Blue Jays’ odds to win the World Series are the sixth-shortest among American League teams. 

Toronto Blue Jays American League Championship Odds

The Blue Jays are +1400 to win the American League. Priced at +3000 on June 2, Toronto’s odds have consistently shortened throughout the month. 

The Jays had the fifth-longest AL odds for much of the season. At the time of writing, nine American League teams have longer odds than the Jays, including the Minnesota Twins and Boston Red Sox. 

I remain hesitant about Toronto’s playoff chances. This roster needs reinforcements in the rotation and lineup if they are to win multiple playoff series. 

Toronto Blue Jays American League East Odds

Toronto is +550 to win the American League East. The New York Yankees have slumped of late, leaving the Jays only three games back. 

The Tampa Bay Rays (+500) have shorter odds than the Jays, even though the teams are tied in the loss column as of June 20. While the Red Sox are 8-2 over their last 10 games, their lineup was significantly weakened by the decision to trade away Rafael Devers. I will not be backing Boston to win the division at +1600. 

Despite closing the gap to three games, I still don’t see the Jays as a realistic division winner. The Yankees and Rays have much better run differentials, and I expect Toronto to drop off the pace over the next couple of weeks with series to come against the Red Sox, Yankees, and Cleveland Guardians. 

Toronto Blue Jays Playoff Odds, Predictions, & Best Bets

The Blue Jays are -150 to make the playoffs. Currently residing in the second wild-card spot, the Jays have seen their playoff odds shorten considerably in recent weeks.

After starting the season 16-20, the Blue Jays have won 24 of their last 38 games. Their playoff chances were slim a little more than a month ago, but they have overtaken several of their wild-card rivals. 

I fancy the Jays to maintain a playoff push for the rest of the season. It will be a tight race into September. 

Toronto Blue Jays Next Series

The Blue Jays look to add to their excellent recent record when they host the Chicago White Sox for a three-game series this weekend. Chicago has the worst record in the American League and has lost eight consecutive games. 

The White Sox have an 86 wRC+ over the last month. The Jays have the third-best offence over that period and boast a 24-14 record at Rogers Centre this season. With seven wins among 38 road games, Chicago is the only team in the majors with fewer than 10 road wins.

This is a series the Jays should win, and anything less than a sweep would be a disappointment. Toronto’s projected starting pitchers leave them slightly vulnerable, however. 

Friday night’s starter, Spencer Turnbull, has a WHIP of 2.08 after 4.1 innings out of the bullpen. José Berríos allowed six earned runs in his last start and has mediocre underlying numbers. Chris Bassitt needs to improve on his recent performances – he’s facing one of Chicago’s best pitchers in Adrian Houser (2.15 ERA in five starts).

Other than Houser, a hot Jays offence should be able to do damage. Davis Martin has a 5.35 xERA. Aaron Civale was removed from the rotation by the Milwaukee Brewers before being traded to the White Sox. 

I think the Blue Jays should be able to score enough runs to win all three games of this series. I will be betting the overs.
