• See the best A.I. picks for Dodgers vs Blue Jays Game 7, including a moneyline bet, run-total pick, and player prop to target

A dramatic Game 6 victory (3-1) by the Los Angeles Dodgers (105-73, 47-40 away) on Friday night has forced a decisive Game 7 against the Toronto Blue Jays (103-75, 59-31 home) in the 2025 World Series. The home team has won the last three games in the series and the visiting Dodgers are road favorites in Game 7 as they send Shohei Ohtani (2-1, 3.50 ERA in postseason) to the mound against Toronto’s Max Scherzer (1-0, 4.50 ERA in postseason).

First pitch for Game 7 is scheduled for 8:00 pm ET at the Rogers Centre. FOX will carry the broadcast in the US while Sportsnet has the broadcast in Canada. With Ohtani on the mound, Los Angeles is currently priced at -138 or shorter. The Blue Jays are as log as +130, with the run total ranging from 7.5 to 8.0 in the current MLB odds.

Los Angeles Dodgers vs Toronto Blue Jays A.I. Picks

I asked our internal A.I. to generate its top picks for Game 7: a moneyline bet, a run total bet, and a player-prop pick. I have set out each of its Dodgers/Blue Jays picks below, along with its justification for each of its Game 7 predictions.

LAD vs TOR Moneyline Pick

• Los Angeles Dodgers ML (-138)

A.I. rationale: “In a winner-take-all Game 7, the pitching matchup is paramount, and the Los Angeles Dodgers hold a decisive advantage on the mound. Shohei Ohtani has been a force this postseason, and his limited history against the current Blue Jays roster is solid. On the other side, Max Scherzer faces a lineup that has had his number lately. The BvP data is damning, particularly with Shohei Ohtani himself hitting .500 with a 1.125 OPS against him in eight at-bats. Scherzer’s low prop lines for outs (9.5 O/U) and strikeouts (2.5 O/U) signal that even the oddsmakers anticipate a quick hook, putting immense pressure on a thinned-out Toronto bullpen.

The betting trends overwhelmingly favor Los Angeles. The Dodgers are an incredible 11-1 in their last 12 road games and 9-1 in their last 10 road games following a win. They have also been a juggernaut against quality opponents, going 16-4 in their last 20 games against teams with a winning record. While the Blue Jays have been resilient at home, posting a 12-3 record after a loss in their last 15 home games, the challenge of facing Ohtani in an elimination game is a different beast entirely.

LAD vs TOR Run-Total Pick

A.I. rationale: “The total of 8.0 runs is high for a Game 7. The under has cashed in eight of the Dodgers’ last 10 games. Three of the first six games in the World Series stayed under 8.0 runs with one landing on 8.0 exactly. With both teams likely to manage this game pitch-by-pitch and offenses tightening up under pressure, runs will be at a premium.”

LAD vs TOR Player Prop to Target

• Shohei Ohtani Over 4.5 Strikeouts (+122)

A.I. rationale: “While Ohtani’s strikeout prop of 4.5 carries plus-money odds (+122), making it seem like a riskier bet, his recent form paints a different picture. Over his last three starts, Ohtani has averaged an impressive nine strikeouts per game, demonstrating his ability to dominate opposing lineups. His splitter, a key pitch in his arsenal, boasts a 38% whiff rate, indicating its effectiveness in generating swings and misses. Given his recent dominance, over 4.5 strikeouts is a compelling and undervalued proposition.”
