🏥 Toronto Blue Jays

❌ OUT: Alejandro Kirk (injury (out))

❌ OUT: Max Scherzer (day-to-day after exiting Monday's start after two innings)

Gausman's elite early-season form and Teoscar Hernández's 52% whiff rate against the splitter point toward a low-scoring game, but the Dodgers' dominant lineup and Toronto's five-game skid make the Under 7.5 and Dodgers run line both worth targeting. Los Angeles covered the run line in Monday's blowout and carries the best ATS record in MLB at 8-2.

Game Synopsis

The 8-2 Dodgers, riding a four-game win streak and coming off a 14-2 demolition of Toronto on Monday, enter as heavy road favorites against a Blue Jays squad that has dropped five straight and is 2-8 ATS on the season. The Dodgers are 8-2 ATS this year, while Kevin Gausman's Blue Jays have failed to cover in both of his starts with a set spread. The Dodgers' offense leads MLB in average, slugging, and home runs, though Gausman has been virtually unhittable through 12 innings with a 0.75 ERA, 21 strikeouts, and zero walks.

Pick 1: Los Angeles Dodgers -1.5 (+106)

The Dodgers are 8-2 ATS this season and have won 80% of games as favorites; Toronto's lineup has been shut down repeatedly, managing just five hits in Monday's loss, and the Blue Jays have not covered in either of Gausman's starts with a set spread.

Pick 2: Under 7.5 (-104)

Gausman has allowed just one earned run in 12 innings with 21 strikeouts and zero walks, while Yamamoto's fastball/splitter combo generates a 40% K-rate against Toronto; contests where both elite arms go deep tend to suppress scoring well below this total.
