The Los Angeles Dodgers (8-2) continue their road trip north of the border Tuesday night as they face the Toronto Blue Jays (4-6) in Game 2 of a three-game series at Rogers Centre. Los Angeles opened the set with a dominant 14-2 win Monday night, extending its winning streak to four games, while Toronto enters looking to snap a five-game skid.

This matchup is a rematch of the 2025 World Series, but the two teams are trending in very different directions early in 2026. The Dodgers have been, unsurprisingly, one of the hottest teams in baseball, averaging over 11 runs per game during their current streak, while the Blue Jays are still searching for consistency on both sides of the ball.

Dodgers vs. Blue Jays Current Odds

Hard Rock Bet Sportsbook lists the Dodgers as a road favorite following their blowout win in the series opener:

  • Moneyline: Dodgers -150, Blue Jays +125
  • Run Line: Dodgers -1.5 (+110), Blue Jays +1.5 (-135)
  • Total (Runs): Over 7.5 (-105), Under 7.5 (-115)

Los Angeles has been firing on all cylinders offensively to begin the season. The Dodgers lead the league in home runs, batting average, slugging percentage, and OPS, while also ranking near the top in RBIs. Their lineup depth has been especially evident, with Andy Pages emerging as one of the early-season standouts. The center fielder has surged out of the lower half of the lineup, hitting .474 with multiple extra-base hits and driving in runs at a high rate.

On the mound, Yoshinobu Yamamoto continues to build on his impressive MLB resume. After an All-Star campaign in 2025 that included a third-place finish in NL Cy Young voting and World Series MVP honors, he enters tonight with a 3.00 ERA through his first two starts of the season. He’s also firmly in the early Cy Young conversation again, currently tied for second at +450 odds.

Toronto, meanwhile, will lean on Kevin Gausman to stabilize things. The veteran right-hander has been sharp to begin the season, posting a 0.75 ERA and piling up strikeouts at an elite level, tied for the MLB lead with 21 through his first two outings. His presence on the mound gives the Blue Jays a strong opportunity to respond despite their recent struggles.

Offensively, Toronto has yet to find its groove. The Blue Jays are averaging just 3.6 runs per game this season and have been even quieter during their losing streak. That puts added pressure on Gausman to keep this game within reach against a Dodgers lineup that has been one of the most dangerous in baseball.

Futures & Awards Outlook

Looking at the bigger picture, Los Angeles continues to set the pace in futures markets. The Dodgers remain the favorites to win the 2026 World Series at +225 odds, aiming for a third consecutive championship, something not seen since the Yankees’ run from 1998 to 2000. Toronto, despite its slow start, still holds relatively strong positioning at +1300 odds, as the reigning AL pennant winner.

Shohei Ohtani also remains a central figure in the league-wide conversation, currently listed as a -165 favorite to win NL MVP, which would mark his fourth straight MVP award.
