Toronto has long struggled to generate reliable betting value. Despite winning 91 games in 2022 and 92 games in 2023, the Blue Jays finished in the red in both campaigns. Toronto is not a hot commodity on the baseball betting odds futures market for 2025. Last year was a massive disappointment and a step back for the Toronto Blue Jays. Previously, for the third time in four years, the Toronto Blue Jays made the playoffs as a wild-card team. Unfortunately, all three times, the Blue Jays were eliminated in two games.

2025 Toronto Blue Jays Manager and Key Players
Manager John Schneider was a previous Blue Jay coach before taking over as manager midway through 2022. Correlate he has led Toronto to two offshore betting playoff campaigns.
RHP Kevin Gausman is the number one starter. In 2023, he was 12-9 with a 3.16 earned run average and 1.18 WHIP. He is a two-time All-Star. Last year, Gausman was 14-11 with a 3.83 ERA and 1.22 WHIP.
1B, OF, DH Vladimir Guerrero remains the marquee man on the Blue Jays. He is a three-time All-Star, including last season. Last year, Guerrero scored 98 runs with 30 home runs, 103 runs batted in, and a .940 OPS.
2025 Toronto Blue Jays Team Overview
Certainly, the overall lack of success for Toronto has made them a relatively unpopular team with gamblers. But last season has driven down Toronto’s MLB odds value.
2025 Offseason Major moves: Signed OF Anthony Santander to a 5-year deal, Signed RP Jeff Hoffman to a 3-year deal, Acquired 2B Andrés Giménez via trade from the Cleveland Guardians, Acquired OF Myles Straw via trade from the Cleveland Guardians, Signed SP Max Scherzer to a 1-year deal.
It’s easy and somewhat fun to clown on the Jays for finishing second on seemingly every major free agent. They made a competitive offer to Soto, but it wasn’t enough. Also, they outshot the Diamondbacks on Corbin Burnes, but he opted to take less to live at home in Phoenix. They secured an in-person meeting with Roki Sasaki, only for the highly touted hurler to sign in L.A. Their decision to send veteran reliever Chad Green, among others, to Sasaki’s meeting.
To summarize, it’s a pretty solid offseason. The Jays needed power, so they signed Santander, one of the game’s top tater-makers. Also, they needed lineup depth and infield defense, so they traded for Giménez, an all-time-great second-base glove. They needed bullpen upgrades, so they brought in Hoffman, arguably the second-best reliever on the market. They took a flier on a bounce-back year from a future Hall of Famer in Scherzer.
In 2024, the Toronto Blue Jays had a record of 74-88 and were 5th in the American League East Division. Offensively, Toronto ranked 17th for runs scored, 16th for batting average, 13th for OPS, 25th for home runs, and 28th for stolen bases. Meanwhile, defensively, Toronto ranked 22nd for earned run average, 19th for WHIP, 6th for strikeouts, 5th for quality starts, 18th for fewest errors, and 29th for bullpen ERA.
Toronto ranks 5th for MLB payroll.
On the whole, Toronto is good enough to draw interest from most gamblers. However, they are not good enough to sustain reliable betting value. Thus, more gamblers than ever before are weary of the Blue Jays.
