Betting Trends

Blue Jays: 71-71 ATS this season

The total has gone over in 5 of the Blue Jays’ last 7 games
Under is 4-1 in Buehler’s last 5 starts
Player Props to Watch
Freddie Freeman (Dodgers) – Hits + Runs + RBIs Total: 2.5
Freeman has been a consistent offensive force and is batting .315 in October. With Blue Jays pitching shaky in late innings, the over could hit if Freeman sees RBI opportunities early.
Bo Bichette (Blue Jays) – Hits Total: 1.5
Bichette thrives in pressure games and hits well against mid-90s fastballs—an area where Buehler leans heavily. Expect aggressive ABs at home.
Prediction & Best Bets
Spread: Dodgers -1.5 → Back Buehler and the deeper bullpen to edge out in Toronto
Total: Under 8.5 → With two elite starters and postseason vibes, expect a tightly contested, lower-scoring affair
Player Prop: Freddie Freeman Over 2.5 Hits + Runs + RBIs → High-leverage hitter in a prime road spot
The Dodgers’ playoff-ready rotation and postseason experience give them tonight’s edge, especially with Buehler toeing the rubber. Toronto’s lineup remains dangerous, particularly at home, but the bullpen injuries and inconsistent offense put them at a slight disadvantage. Expect a close game with LA pulling through in the later innings.
Final Score Prediction: Dodgers 4, Blue Jays 3
