The MLB World Series begins on Friday, October 24, between the Los Angeles Dodgers and the Toronto Blue Jays.
The Dodgers will be looking for their second consecutive World Series title, while the Blue Jays will look to win their first title since 1993.
The Dodgers will ride it out with Blake Snell in Game 1, but the Blue Jays haven’t announced a starter yet. Toronto has many options since it’s Game 1, and everyone is healthy. It’s likely it’ll be a right-handed starter, which should make Los Angeles happy.
Let’s break down all baseball predictions while checking out the MLB World Series odds below.
MLB World Series Game 1 Odds
As a disclaimer, the odds on the MLB World Series for October 24 could change once the Blue Jays confirm a starter. Yet, at this moment, the Dodgers are –155 on the moneyline, despite being on the road. The total is currently at 7.5, but the Under is at -120.
With Snell on the mound, the Dodgers and the Under are the favorites in this game. It makes total sense. Still, we’ll wait to see who the Blue Jays tab as the Game 1 starter on Friday.
Los Angeles Dodgers vs. Toronto Blue Jays (TOR +134)
Friday, October 24, 2025 – 08:00 PM EDT
Snell has started three games for the Dodgers in the playoffs. He’s 3-0 with a .86 ERA through 21 innings. He’s also struck out 28 batters and has a .52 WHIP in the playoffs.
Remember, Snell didn’t begin the season healthy. Therefore, he’s in mid-season form after playing in just 11 games in the regular season. It’s one of the major reasons he’s shown no fatigue in the postseason.
Meanwhile, the Blue Jays’ projected lineup hasn’t shown much power against lefties over the last 30 days. In addition, the team has struggled to walk at a high rate and has hit more than 45% of ground balls against lefties over the last 30 days.
Snell has induced a high rate of grounders and has added lots of strikeouts with a low walk rate. That should work out for Snell. On the other hand, the Dodgers’ projected lineup has hit a .234 ISO and wOBA of .366 against righties over the last 30 days.
The team has also added more than 10% of walks in the last month against righties, while hitting 53.6% of hard contact and 33.8% of fly balls. The line drives are up to nearly 24% and the ground balls are at 38.3% against righties over the last 30 days.
These are much better numbers than what the Blue Jays have done over the last 30 days against lefties.
Where’s The Value In Game 1 of the World Series?
Game 1 will certainly set the tone for the World Series.
Since Toronto is at home, the Blue Jays have to find a way to win at least one game of the first two. No matchup against any Dodgers pitcher will be easy. Ultimately, it’s unlikely the Blue Jays will be the favorites in any game in the World Series.
After all, the Blue Jays are at home in Game 1 and +130 underdogs.
Ultimately, timing is everything in sports betting. The odds could shift once Toronto announces a starter. So make sure you’re on the Dodgers before Toronto makes some weird decision that forces sharps to put more action on the Dodgers.
