- The Dodgers are favored on the Moneyline as they head into Game 7 of the World Series tonight.
- Ohtani is set to pitch for the Dodgers, while Scherzer takes the mound for the Blue Jays.
- Keep an eye on pitching props.
Canadian sportsbooks are breathing a sigh of relief following the Dodgers’ 3-1 triumph over the Blue Jays in Game 6 of the World Series. A Blue Jays victory tonight would significantly impact betting lines.
As the focus shifts to Game 7, the spotlight is on Vancouver with the Jays’ Max Scherzer pitching against the Dodgers’ Shohei Ohtani, who is on short rest after just three days. Both teams are gearing up for this crucial matchup, with Trey Yesavage (who struck out 12 in Game 5) and Shane Bieber being pivotal for the Blue Jays.
The initial plan for the Dodgers to start Tyler Glasnow in Game 7 has been scrapped. Glasnow stepped in to secure the win during the ninth inning last night, effectively closing the game with three outs.
Yesavage on Deck for Jays in Game 7
Roki Sasaki only faced seven batters recently, making him a potential asset for tonight’s game. Dodgers manager Dave Roberts has indicated that every pitcher, except for Yoshinobu Yamamoto—who successfully challenged the Jays in Game 2—will be up for selection.
There’s little point revisiting last night’s events, some of which were marked by a remarkable home run struck by Addison Barger in the 9th. The ball narrowly got stuck at the outfield wall, prompting a dead ball ruling that prevented Myles Straw, who was on first, from scoring a crucial run and left him stranded at third.
Strange Moments in Game 6
That surreal incident had the 50,000-strong crowd at Rogers Centre buzzing, building an exhilarating atmosphere reminiscent of a classic Joe Carter moment. Fans at home were left pondering whether fate had decided to interfere with Toronto’s fairy tale run this season.
Shortly after, Barger was tagged out at second by the Dodgers’ Enrique Hernandez, following an ill-timed decision on a surface-level fly by Andres Gimenez. That late-game twist added a chaotic finish to a pivotal match. Clutch hitter George Springer was on deck had Barger not made that fateful error; Barger later acknowledged it was miscalculation in reading the play.
Market Insights from Sportsbooks
Tonight’s matchup reignites excitement (with the first pitch at 8 p.m. EST). This is precisely why the Jays brought in Scherzer on a one-year, $15 million deal—he previously pitched in a Game 7 of the World Series with the Nationals in 2019, going five innings, allowing two runs on seven hits, and striking out three in a 6-2 victory.
At Caesars Sportsbook, the Moneyline shows Jays +130 and Dodgers -145; the run line has Dodgers -1.5 (+115) and Jays +1.5 (-135), with an over/under of 8 (-105 on the over and -115 on the under).
DraftKings presents the Moneyline as Jays +122 and Dodgers -155, with the run line at Dodgers -1.5 (+110) and Jays +1.5 (-130), and an over/under also set at 8 (-115 on the over and -105 on the under).
Pitching Props to Watch
Phill Gray, a former head of trading operations at Sports Interaction, now a sports betting advisor, highlights that pitching props are once again significant.
“Reports suggest Ohtani may only pitch one full rotation,” he stated. “Betting on him to record under 4.5 strikeouts at -120 could represent a solid opportunity. There’s skepticism regarding Scherzer’s performance, listed at 2.5 strikeouts with heavy vig on the over at -178, making it another prop to monitor. With the over/under at 7.5 at -122, it’s likely the public is leaning that way, considering the potential pitcher rotation and explosive offense on both teams.”
“If I were still in the game, I’d definitely roll out a prop for ‘Will there be a dead hit ruling Yes +2000’. Not sure if others are offering it, but it could be a great promotional opportunity and generate a few hundred bets. With shifts in futures pricing this week, bettors have a unique chance for hedging and potential arbitrage, although some sportsbooks are not quite on board with that.”
Blue Jays Attracting Sharp Money
According to Eric Biggio, the Lead Baseball Oddsmaker for Caesars Sportsbook, the betting landscape for the game looks promising.
“How do you assess the pitching for this concluding game? Ohtani for four innings, Scherzer for three—then what? Both teams are deploying all their resources, and it will be interesting to see who steps to the fore. Middle relief could prove crucial in this game, making a figure like Emmet Sheehan or Eric Lauer potentially impactful. Typically, in Game 7 scenarios, an unlikely hero emerges—perhaps a Tommy Edman or Ernie Clement will rise to the occasion, who knows?”
“We started with the Dodgers at -140, which has slightly increased to -150. However, I’m seeing some sharp money backing the Blue Jays. This is shaping up to be an exciting matchup.”
