Blue Jays at Dodgers picks and predictions
Prediction
Dodgers 5, Blue Jays 2
Moneyline
Los Angeles is 28-12 this season after a loss. The Dodgers (-150) should bounce back vs. the Blue Jays, but there’s no need to pay the higher price on the moneyline when Los Angeles should win by multiple runs.
PASS. Bet the run line and/or the total instead.
Run line/Against the spread
The Dodgers are 1st in MLB in win percentage after a loss this season and their last 14 wins have been by multiple runs. Urías has been a much better pitcher at home and should bounce back after his worst start of the year last time out.
BET DODGERS -1.5 (+125).

Over/Under
The Under is 30-20-4 in Blue Jays games this season when they’re coming off a win. Combine that with a pitcher in Urías who hasn’t given up more than 2 ER in a single home start this season and it looks like Toronto may struggle to score runs Tuesday.
BET UNDER 9 (-110).
