Toronto Blue Jays vs Los Angeles Dodgers Pick – 8/9/2025
The Toronto Blue Jays will face the Los Angeles Dodgers on Saturday night at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles. The Dodgers slowed down the red-hot Blue Jays offense in their series opener on Friday night. They will look to get another win in this contest over the Jays in a game that features a very good pitching matchup.

Key Storylines
Pitching Matchup
Chris Bassitt has been a consistent performer for the Blue Jays this season. He has an 11-5 record with a 4.12 ERA. Bassitt averages nearly a strikeout per inning for the season and his ability to miss bats could be very valuable against a Dodgers lineup with so much power.
Blake Snell is making his first home start for the Dodgers in over four months. Snell struck out eight batters without issuing a walk in a recent start against the Rays. But he took the loss due to two home runs. His performance will be pivotal in determining the Dodgers’ chances in this game.
Recent Team Streaks
The Blue Jays had been on a strong run before this series started. They swept the Colorado Rockies over three games and scored 45 runs in those three contests. But they lost the series opener to the Dodgers and will look to rebound on Saturday night. The Dodgers have won three of their last five games and will look for a second straight victory here.

Final Thoughts
It was not a surprise that the Blue Jays couldn’t keep up their incredible offensive pace from their series with the Rockies on Friday night. On Saturday, I expect more struggles from the bats of the Blue Jays against Blake Snell. I’ll lay the juice and take the Dodgers on the moneyline here, though the runline isn’t a bad option either for those willing to live a little more dangerously.
