Toronto Blue Jays Odds

Toronto Blue Jays 2024 Season Preview

The Toronto Blue Jays are looking to build on their 89-win season in 2023 and make a deeper run in the playoffs. The team made a few key offseason moves, including signing veteran Justin Turner to be the primary designated hitter. On the pitching side, the Blue Jays boast a strong starting rotation led by Kevin Gausman, José Berríos, and Chris Bassitt. The Blue Jays are projected to win around 87.5 games, with their main goal to finally get past the Wild Card round of the playoffs.

The Blue Jays will face stiff competition in the tough AL East, with the Yankees, Rays, and Red Sox all expected to be contenders.

Betting on the Toronto Blue Jays

Blue Jays Spread (Run Line)

When betting on baseball, you’ll be faced with three standard options: the moneyline, over/under and run line.

The run line is a bet on the margin of victory, like a point spread. But because baseball is low scoring, the spread will almost always be -1.5 for the favorite and +1.5 for the underdog. The payouts for each will just be adjusted based on each team’s strength.

Here’s a brief example of a run line for a hypothetical Blue Jays game:

• Cleveland Guardians (+1.5)
• Toronto Blue Jays (-1.5)

As shown above, the Blue Jays are favored by 1.5 runs against the Guardians; the minus sign (-) indicates Toronto is the favorite, while a plus sign (+) is used to denote the underdog. Bettors who wanted to back Toronto here would be “laying” those 1.5 runs, meaning for their bets to cash the Blue Jays would need to win by two runs or more. Bettors who selected the Guardians +1.5 would win if Cleveland won outright or kept a loss to 1 run.

Blue Jays Moneylines

Many first time bettors are wary of run line bets, especially when riding with the hometown team. In that case, moneyline wagers are often seen as the safer way to go. A moneyline bet is a bet on who wins the game -- no run line involved.

Let’s use the same example from before to understand the moneyline better:

• Cleveland Guardians +150
• Toronto Blue Jays -180

Just as with run lines, the minus sign (-) signifies a team is favored, while the plus sign (+) means a team is the underdog. The moneyline odds, written in American odds format here, indicate how big or small a favorite that team is, written in increments of $100. For example, to win $100 on the Blue Jays, a bettor would need to risk $180. On the flip side, a $100 bet on the Guardians would net $150 if they pulled the upset.

Odds can differ from sportsbook to sportsbook, so always make sure you shop for the best line with The Action Network app.

Blue Jays Over/Unders

Betting on a team to win or cover a run line isn’t the only type of wager allowed on MLB games. Almost all sportsbooks will offer a total on the game, also known as an over/under. This bet is not on the winner of the contest, but on the number of runs the two teams will combine to score; sportsbooks hang a number, and bettors can wager either over or under that total.

If the number for our hypothetical Blue Jays-Guardians matchup was 8 runs, over bettors would require 9 points or more to cash their tickets, while those who bet the under would need 7 or fewer runs. If the two teams scored exactly 8 runs between them, that bet would push and all wagers would be refunded.

Blue Jays Props

Some bettors find more entertainment and success betting on more specific outcomes than the result of the game. Prop bets cover a wide market of wagers on player stats, discrete in-game events, and any style of yes/no question. Many props are bets on specific players and their performance, such as betting Vlad Guerrero Jr. over 1.5 hits on a given night, or betting that Hyun Jin Ryu will strike out over 9.5 batters. Some props can be shorter term, such as betting on the number of runs scored in the first five innings or who will hit a home run. Offerings tend to vary depending on the sportsbook, so use our sportsbook reviews to find the best bet for you.

Blue Jays Futures

Expectations are high right now in Toronto, so bettors still have to shop for the best line to get good odds on Blue Jays futures bets. Futures are bets that focus on long term outcomes, like the Blue Jays to win the AL East, win the American League Pennant, win the World Series, or even individual awards like winning league MVP.
