Tony Sartori's Dodgers vs Blue Jays Preview
Los Angeles Dodgers Betting Preview: Trust Snell to Eat Innings
Per usual, left-hander Blake Snell put together another dominant campaign in 2025. He made only 11 starts, but the southpaw posted a 2.35 ERA.
His underlying metrics were equally impressive. At the conclusion of the regular season, Snell ranked in the 82nd percentile or higher in xERA, average exit velocity, barrel rate and hard-hit rate.
That success has carried into the postseason, where he has been nearly flawless. Through three starts, Snell is a perfect 3-0 with a 0.86 ERA and 0.52 WHIP.
There may be no better word to describe his current form than “brilliant.” A key part of that brilliance is his ability to pitch deep into games as Snell is averaging seven innings per outing this postseason.
That longevity is critical, as it helps mask the Dodgers’ lone weakness: a below-average bullpen. When Snell goes deep, Los Angeles becomes nearly unbeatable.
Toronto Blue Jays Betting Preview: Can Tononto Overcome Pitching Disadvantage?
This creates a daunting scenario for 22-year-old rookie Trey Yesavage, who takes the mound for the Toronto Blue Jays in Game 1. He faces enormous pressure, starting Toronto’s first World Series appearance in over 30 years against a powerhouse Dodgers club.
Even worse, he’s going head-to-head with Snell, a task no opposing starter has conquered this postseason. The pressure on a pitcher with just six professional starts is hard to overstate, especially given his inconsistent form.
In the regular season, Yesavage finished in the bottom half of the league in xERA, xBA, average exit velocity and hard-hit rate. In the postseason, the right-hander owns a 4.20 ERA across 15 innings.
Run support may also be hard to come by. Through 75 combined plate appearances against Snell, this current Toronto roster is slashing just .227/.303/.283 in batting average, slugging percentage and weighted on-base average, respectively.
Dodgers vs Blue Jays Prediction, Betting Analysis
There are two reasons to like the Blue Jays in this matchup: they’re playing in front of a passionate home crowd, and they hold a slight bullpen advantage. That said, there are far more reasons to favor Los Angeles.
The Dodgers have more World Series experience, the superior starting pitcher and the deeper lineup. If Snell pitches seven or more innings again, he can effectively neutralize Toronto’s bullpen edge and, subsequently, the Blue Jays could be in serious trouble trying to bridge the gap between these two clubs.
Pick: Dodgers Moneyline (-150 | Play to -160)
Moneyline
As mentioned, I'm betting the Dodgers moneyline.
Run Line (Spread)
I like the Dodgers to cover, but find more value in just taking the outright moneyline price.
Over/Under
I lean toward the under, but don't trust Yesavage.
