Toronto Blue Jays at Los Angeles Dodgers Preview & Picks

Toronto are tipped to make it back-to-back victories in Los Angeles and regain the series lead.

  • Toronto Blue Jays are 4-2 in their last 6 road games in the playoffs
  • LA starter Blake Snell gave up 5 earned in Game 1 of this series
  • Toronto pitcher Trey Yesavage has allowed 2 earned or fewer in 4 of his last 5 starts
  • 5 of the 7 meetings this season have produced at least 8 total runs

Head To Head

  • Los Angeles Dodgers lead the all-time series 21-13
  • The 2025 MLB World Series is tied at 2-2
  • Toronto Blue Jays won 6-2 when the two teams last met on October 28

Toronto Blue Jays Form

Toronto go into this game having rebounded from back-to-back defeats to level the World Series at 2-2.

The Blue Jays rallied from an early deficit to blow out Los Angeles in Game 1 at home, 11-4, but they failed to build on that as they lost their next two games, 5-1 at home and 6-5 on the road.

They stopped the rot on Tuesday night though, putting up four runs in the seventh to pull away and beat Los Angeles 6-2.

Toronto had entered the World Series showdown with the Dodgers having won seven of their 11 playoff postseason games.

The Blue Jays took the AL East with a 94-68 record, and that was enough to earn them a bye for the first round of the playoffs.

When they did finally begin their playoff campaign they put together back-to-back home wins over the New York Yankees, 10-1 and 13-7, before rebounding from a 9-6 road defeat with a series-sealing 5-2 victory.

Toronto dug themselves into an early hole in the AL Championship Series as they fell to 3-1 and 10-3 defeats at home to Seattle, but they responded to those setbacks with 13-4 and 8-2 wins on the road.

The Blue Jays failed to make it three-in-a-row as they were beaten 6-2 in Game 5, but with their World Series dream on the line they rallied to clinch the series with 6-2 and 4-3 victories.

Los Angeles Dodgers Form

Los Angeles enter tonight's matchup looking to regain the series lead before heading back to Toronto.

The Dodgers opened this series with a disappointing 11-4 defeat in Toronto, but responded the following night with a 5-1 victory to gain a slight upperhand.

They backed that up with a 6-5 win in their first home game of the series, only to then lose 6-2 last night and surrender their advantage.

Los Angeles' 93-69 regular-season record was not enough to earn they a playoff bye, but that did no matter as they swept Cincinnati in the Wild Card thanks to 10-5 and 8-4 victories.

The Dodgers then made a dream start to the series with Philadelphia as they won 5-3 and 4-3 on the road, before responding to their first postseason setback, an 8-2 defeat, with a series-clinching 2-1 win.

That set up a NL Championship Series showdown with Milwaukee, and they were able to complete an emphatic sweep of the Brewers in four games.

They opened with 2-1 and 5-1 victories on the road in Milwaukee, before returning home to wrap things up with 3-1 and 5-1 victories.

Verdict

Toronto issued the perfect response on Tuesday night, and we expect them to back it up.

The Blue Jays bats have been solid through four games and they did some serious damage against Blake Snell in Game 1.
