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. They are incredibly close to clinching the division with less than 15 games remaining. Currently, DraftKings Sportsbook lists the Blue Jays at -1400 to win the American League East, or a 93.3% probability.
The Blue Jays' current odds of making the playoffs are off the board, indicating that oddsmakers believe they are a lock. 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 | OTB | 99.9% |
| To Miss Playoffs | OTB | 0.01% |
| To Win the AL East | -1400 | 93.3% |
| To Win the American League | +300 | 25% |
| To Win the World Series | +800 | 11.1% |
So, what are some of the reasons these numbers are where they are? Read on...
The odds have improved since April, and their playoff odds are no longer on the board, as they have a solid lead in the American League East. When the season began, things looked dicey. Now? The Jays are top contenders to make the playoffs, and oddsmakers believe they will be playing baseball in October.
The regular season is almost over, and the Blue Jays are 87-62, as of September 15, 2025. They currently lead the American League East, with the New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox within striking distance, but are quietly building a lead over them. There is a chance they could clinch the division title this week if they stay hot and the Yankees and Red Sox continue to fall.
With odds of +300 to win the American League, the Blue Jays have a great chance of winning the AL, as they have 25% implied odds of winning the AL. While those odds are better now, they still have to fend off the Red Sox and Yankees in the division first, and then overcome the Houston Astros and Detroit Tigers. There is still significant work to do.
At +800 odds to clinch the World Series, the Blue Jays have elevated their odds. Currently, they have the third-best odds to win the title. With a tough division and league, it would be tough 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 currently a team to watch. After a bad start, the Jays have come along well, cementing themselves at the top of the AL East. The Jays must continue sustaining their momentum, and they will likely be in the playoffs, and possibly much more.
The Blue Jays' odds to make the playoffs are currently off the board. With a lead in the American League East, oddsmakers believe the Blue Jays are nearly a lock to make the playoffs this season as they are playing good baseball.
The New York Yankees have -10000 odds to make the MLB Playoffs. Meanwhile, the Boston Red Sox are at -10000 to make the playoffs. The Tampa Bay Rays and Baltimore Orioles no longer have any odds displayed on the boards, indicating that oddsmakers don't believe they will qualify.
The Blue Jays' odds to win the AL East are at -1400, or 93.3%. This indicates that the tide is turning, as they currently have the best odds of winning the division, while the Red Sox and Yankees are just behind them.
Currently, the Blue Jays' World Series odds for 2025 are +800, which translates to an 11.1% chance. This shows that the Jays still have work to do to establish themselves as contenders, especially with the Seattle Mariners, Houston Astros, and Detroit Tigers also being contenders.
