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, there is some cautious optimism that surrounds the team due to their offseason and the projected development of their key role players. Currently, DraftKings Sportsbook lists the Blue Jays at +5500 odds to make the playoffs, indicating a 1.79% implied probability.
The Blue Jays' current odds of making the playoffs are +310, a 24.5% 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 | +310 | 24.5% |
| To Miss Playoffs | -390 | 79.5% |
| To Win the AL East | +1000 | 9.09% |
| To Win the American League | +2500 | 3.85% |
| To Win the World Series | +5500 | 1.79% |
So what are some of the reasons these numbers are where they are? Read on...
While the odds are not in their favor now at +310, or 24.4% 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 16-20 and just lost a three-game series to the lowly Los Angeles Angels. Currently, they are still within striking distance of the division-leading New York Yankees, but they need to pick up the pace. Plus, they also must overcome the Boston Red Sox, Tampa Bay Rays, and Baltimore Orioles.
With odds of +2500 to win the American League, the Blue Jays are viewed as long shots, with just 3.85% implied odds of winning the AL. While those odds rank in the bottom 50%, it is primarily because they have struggled to start the season and have struggled to hold onto leads.
At +5500 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
