We start our Toronto Blue Jays (55-45) at Los Angeles Dodgers (57-41) odds preview by looking at the opening betting line for this week’s key series. Toronto sends Jose Berrios (8-7 3.39 era) to the hill against Michael Grove (2-2, 6.40) for the Dodgers. Oddsmakers have made Los Angeles a -115 favorite in game one with a total of 9.5 (under -120). The first pitch is scheduled for 10:10 pm ET/7:10 pm PT. Let’s break down both clubs starting with Toronto in a match-up of two of the top MLB teams.

Day/Time: Monday, June 24, 10:10 p.m. ET
Location: Dodger Stadium

Blue Jays Avoid Sweep; Two-Game Lead For Wild-Card Spot

The Seattle Mariners took the first two games of their weekend series against Toronto, and had runners on first and third with one out, down a run, Sunday. Jordan Romano picked up his 27th save while stranding Dylan Moore and Kolten Wong to preserve Toronto’s 4-3 win. Against teams .500 or better, the Jays are 35-30 (-38 units) and 20-14 (+347 units) against teams playing .570 ball or better.

Those numbers bode well for Toronto against the Dodgers, who are winning games at a .582 clip. Over the last two seasons, the Jays are 36-25 (+887 units) against teams winning more than 57% of their games. Two-time all-star, Los Angeles Dodgers.

Dodgers Moving Up MLB Power Rankings

After a loss to the Texas Rangers this weekend.

According to our latest Tampa Bay Rays. Right behind that trio is the Los Angeles Dodgers who are 25-11 in games decided by five runs or more. They’re starting to show glimpses of what their payroll says they should be with six wins by five runs or more in their last 13 games. Los Angeles is 67-53 (+226 units) against teams .500 or better and 45-33 (+566 units) against clubs playing .550 ball or better. The Jays numbers are good, the Dodgers are reliable. Los Angeles has won four of the last five games when Michael Grover has started. We conclude our Blue Jays vs Dodgers odds preview by giving our official selection.

Los Angeles Finally Get Home Cooking

The Dodgers have not played a home game in 16 days, primarily due to the all-star break, but it will be nice for Los Angeles to get back to Chavez Ravine after winning 29 of their first 45 at home (+118 units). If the Dodgers stay in the black for bettors this year, it will be the fifth straight season where LA has been profitable at home, where they are 224-94 (.704) +1717 units in that span.

Since 2015, the Dodgers have had only one losing season for bettors at home (2018 45-37, -1199 units). Since 2006, Los Angeles is 848-524 (.618) +361 units at home, while owning a winning home record in every season. We’re not going against that trend, take the Dodgers -130, but wait to see if a better number presents itself with 88% of the early moneyline wagers coming in on Toronto. That does it for our Blue Jays vs Dodgers odds preview, we hope all your wagers this week will be winners.
