As we continue the 2025 MLB season, the Toronto Blue Jays find themselves at a pivotal juncture in one of the toughest divisions in baseball. After finishing with a 74-88 record last season, much has changed, as a recent hot streak has vaulted the Jays into the AL East lead. Currently, DraftKings Sportsbook lists the Blue Jays at +150 to win the American League East, or a 40% probability.
The Blue Jays' current odds of making the playoffs are -110, a 52.4% implied probability. While these odds represent the challenges ahead, they also leave some room for the possibility that the Blue Jays could surpass their expectations.
FanDuel Sportsbook is offering the following odds for the Toronto Blue Jays:
Bet Type | Odds | Implied Probability |
| To Make Playoffs | -525 | 84% |
| To Miss Playoffs | N/A | N/A |
| To Win the AL East | +150 | 40% |
| To Win the American League | +750 | 11.8% |
| To Win the World Series | +1900 | 5% |
So, what are some of the reasons these numbers are where they are? Read on...
The odds have improved since April, and they are now at -525, or 84% implied. The Blue Jays do have the talent to contend for a playoff spot. Their success will be built solely on consistent performance from their hitters, fielders, and pitching staff. While that can be said for any team, the Blue Jays have a solid enough top-to-bottom roster that can make the playoffs with sound fundamentals and some luck on the injury front.
The season has been underway for well over a month, and the Blue Jays are 52-38 as of July 7, 2025, after sweeping a three-game weekend series with the Los Angeles Angels. They currently lead the American League East, with the New York Yankees and Tampa Bay Rays within striking distance. The Boston Red Sox are still alive in the division, while the Baltimore Orioles have struggled to keep up.
With odds of +750 to win the American League, the Blue Jays are viewed as long shots, with just 11.8% implied odds of winning the AL. While those odds are better now, they still have to beat out the Yankees in the division first.
At +1900 odds to clinch the World Series, the Blue Jays are seen as major dark horses. With a tough division and league, it would be very hard to imagine that the Blue Jays win the World Series this season without peak athletic performances at the right time.

As members of the AL East, the Blue Jays will play each of their divisional opponents in 13 different series and will play each team in the MLB in at least one series. Playing against challenging division foes that many times, will likely be the deciding factor of this team's success. Can the Blue Jays be able to steal a few more wins than projected?
In Ontario, several regulated sportsbooks offer futures betting on the Blue Jays' playoff prospects. Platforms such as BetVictor, Bet99, and 888 Win provide user-friendly experiences and a variety of varied odds. It's essential to only engage and bet with licensed operators to ensure a secure, fair betting experience.
After winning historic back-to-back World Series titles in 1992 and 1993, the Blue Jays would endure a 22-year playoff drought, ending in 2016. Since a deep run in that year's postseason, it's been a case of one-and-done, with the team getting swept in the Wild Card round in 2020, 2022, and 2023.
The Blue Jays are going to be a team to watch, despite their outlook not looking as promising as others in their division. One thing we know is, that the Blue Jays could be an exciting team to watch and have some very solid pieces that could give their opponents fits. What happens if all their potential clicks? They very much could be a playoff team. However, they have to improve in what ailed them last season
The Blue Jays currently have -525 odds, or an 84% chance, to make the 2025 MLB Playoffs. This is a significant increase from two months earlier, when the Jays were previously heavy underdogs to make the playoffs, highlighting their ascent in the standings.
The Yankees have much better odds at -800. The Jays are -525, while the Tampa Bay Rays are -150, the Boston Red Sox are +225, and the Baltimore Orioles are +1000 to represent the American League East in making the MLB Playoffs this season.
The Blue Jays' odds to win the AL East are at +750, or 11.8%. This indicates that they are still heavy underdogs to win this division, even though they currently lead the Yankees and Rays by three games in early July.
Currently, the Blue Jays' World Series odds for 2025 are +1900, which translates to a 5% chance. This shows that the Jays still have work to do to establish themselves as contenders, especially in the same division as the New York Yankees.
