Max Scherzer trying to strike out Shohei Ohtani? The Blue Jays trying to strike back after experiencing a heartbreaking loss to the Dodgers in Game 7 of last year’s World Series?
We get it; nothing that happens tonight in Toronto will erase what the Dodgers accomplished last year — winning back-to-back World Series titles in dramatic fashion.
But any time you get an early-season rematch like this, it’s must-watch. Tonight’s first pitch is scheduled for 7:07 pm, ET, with national coverage on FS1.
We break down Dodgers at Blue Jays and provide the best betting advice for Monday night’s game.
Dodgers vs Blue Jays Odds
The graphic above shows the best current odds as of 11:45 am, April 6 and are subject to change.
The Dodgers enter tonight’s matchup as solid road favorites, sitting at consensus -144 on the moneyline as oddsmakers heavily respect their dominant 7-2 start and potent lineup. The Blue Jays return appealing plus-money value (+120) as home underdogs, while the runline offers a lucrative +119 payout for anyone backing Los Angeles to clear the 1.5-run spread.
Since the betting markets opened, we have seen notable movement across the board. The game’s total opened at 8.5 runs but was quickly bumped up to a flat 9 as bettors anticipate the Dodgers’ league-leading offense will continue to produce fireworks. The runline and moneyline have experienced similar adjustments. The Dodgers opened laying -1.5 runs at +122, but steady backing has caused the payout to shorten to +119. On the moneyline, books adjusted the Dodgers from an opening price of -134 to their current -144 mark as money continues to pour in against the struggling 4-5 Blue Jays.

Dodgers vs Blue Jays Predictions & Best Bets
Pick: Dodgers Moneyline ($0.58 per contract/-138 odds at Kalshi)
The stark contrast in offensive production makes the road favorites an incredibly appealing play tonight. The Dodgers have come out of the gates firing, winning 77.8% of their games to easily clear standard situational trend thresholds. Los Angeles has plated 54 runs over nine games, significantly outpacing a Blue Jays squad that has won just 44.4% of its contests while managing only 34 total runs. Furthermore, the Dodgers have proven reliable when oddsmakers expect them to win, securing victories in 66.7% of their games as the betting favorite (4-2).
While the Blue Jays hold a clear starting pitching advantage, baseball games are won over nine innings. The Dodgers’ elite bullpen boasts a pristine 3.00 ERA and a 1.03 WHIP. In stark contrast, Toronto’s relievers have struggled mightily, posting a 4.66 ERA and a 1.44 WHIP. Once Scherzer exits, the Los Angeles bats will have a prime opportunity to take over.
The prediction site Kalshi has the most valuable moneyline play. You can purchase a Dodgers to win contract for $0.58 per, which equates to -138 odds. A $10 investment in this contract would produce an $8 profit if the Dodgers win.

Pick: OVER 8.5 Runs (-122 at FanDuel)
Expect runs on both sides in this matchup. Dodgers starter Justin Wrobleski has been highly vulnerable through his first 12 innings of the 2026 campaign, logging a 6.75 ERA and surrendering 3.00 runs per game. That creates a window for Toronto bats like Davis Schneider (1.067 OPS) and Vladimir Guerrero Jr. (.823 OPS) to contribute to the total early. Conversely, the Dodgers’ relentless lineup—spearheaded by Andy Pages (1.294 OPS, 3 HR) and Ohtani (.880 OPS)—is more than capable of exploiting the Blue Jays’ leaky bullpen in the later innings to push this over the number.

Public Betting Splits
When breaking down the MLB public betting markets for tonight’s series opener, it is clear that bettors are heavily backing the road favorites.
Bettors are overwhelmingly siding with the 7-2 Dodgers to take care of business at the Rogers Centre. On the moneyline, Los Angeles is drawing a massive 76.4% of the tickets and an accompanying 71.0% of the total money. The confidence in the Dodgers extends to the runline as well, where Los Angeles commands 65.3% of the betting tickets and an even stronger 70.9% of the total money to cover the 1.5-run spread. Because the money percentage is a more valuable indicator of larger wagers, the fact that the Dodgers’ runline stake outpaces its ticket count shows strong conviction from bigger bettors.
The most decisive betting consensus tonight lies in the total market. Bettors are heavily anticipating an offensive showcase, pouring 85.7% of all tickets onto the Over. The money percentage is even more staggering, with 87.8% of the total cash banking on this game turning into a shootout.
