• Blue Jays betting favourites to win World Series, but underdogs for Game 6 tonight
• Guerrero Jr. jumps ahead of Ohtani is MVP odds
• Yamamoto, Game 2 winner, looks for repeat performance tonight

The Blue Jays are on the cusp of their first World Series win in over 30 years, on Hallowe’en Night don’t you know, with the city’s energy about to explode on a level not seen since the Raptors won the NBA title in 2019. Game 6 goes tonight at 8 p.m. EST, with Kevin Gausman up against Yoshinobu Yamamoto, who hamstrung the Blue Jays in Game 2’s 4-1 Dodgers win.

Another Stratosphere for Ticket Prices

Ticket prices for tonight’s game at Roger’s Center are unworldly. Outfield District resale tickets are going for $1,666 per on Ticketmaster. A ticket in Section 511 is going for $2,261. A ticket on Section 19, Row 1 is going for $11,106.

Any concerns about television ratings with a Canadian team playing in the Fall Classic have been minimized. Game 4 on Tuesday averaged 14.81 million U.S. viewers on Fox, Fox Deportes and streaming, according to Nielsen, the most-watched game of this year’s World Series and the second-most viewed Game 4 since 2018.

People in Canada are watching in droves and boosting ratings, and people in Japan are watching too, with Shohei Ohtani, Roki Sasaki, and Yoshinobu Yamamoto on the Dodgers’ roster.

How Does Betting Look for Tonight?

MVP Futures have been shuffling as well, after Game 4 and 5 in Los Angeles where Vladmir Guerrero Jr. had two big home runs, including a bomb off Ohtani in Game 4 (Ohtani was the Dodgers’ starting pitcher).

Game 6 news headlines this morning: It sounds like George Springer will be back in the Blue Jays’ lineup after sitting Games 4 and 5 with strained muscles on his right side. Jays’ manager John Schneider said that the 36-year-old Springer was close to playing Game 5 Wednesday night, which the Jays won 6-1.

It’s all hands-on deck for the Dodgers, looking for any way possible to get Ohtani, the game’s greatest player, into the lineup more. Manager Dave Roberts is considering using Ohtani as an opener or as an outfielder if the Dodgers force a Game 7 tomorrow. Ohtani threw 93 pitches in Wednesday’s 6-2 loss.

Single Biggest Event Loss

In Canada, according to a source, there’s no two-way betting action. Bettors up here are in hard on the Jays.

A Jays’ World Series win “would be our single biggest event loss, ever,” said one Ontario operator this a.m. A Jays’ win tonight, or tomorrow for Game 7, and they get crushed. Don’t underestimate the patriotic, the stick-it-to-the-U.S.-during-tariff-times angle, either, as jet fuel for betting on the home team, Gray said.

Phill Gray, the former head of trading operations at Sports Interaction, and an industry sports betting consultant, lays it out some of the betting headlines nicely for us this morning:

Blue Jays are now -240 to win the series, but +125 to win tonight’s game, a tip of the respect hat to Yamamoto.

Mountain of Same Game Parlays

“Some value stands out to me is Gausman 6 K’s +140, 7 K’s +260,” said Gray. “Yamamoto’s count doesn’t get to plus money until 7k’s +100. If Springer is playing, +470 HR – his status may be hindered somewhat but that stands out.

There’s a mountain of same game parlays to sift through, Gray said, adding that he expects some books t be sitting on some “hefty” liabilities for some of those if any of them hit.

An interesting one at FanDuel: “Velocity of First Pitch”, with multiple options. FanDuel actually has some interesting props that you don’t see elsewhere.

Guerrero Jr. Shortest Odds for MVP

It’s in the World Series MVP Futures that you’ve see some of the most interesting movement over the past few days. At DraftKings, Guerrero, with two massive home runs at Chavez Ravine in Los Angeles in Games 4 and 5, now sits at -205, with Ohtani at +230 (Game 5 winning pitcher, and rookie, Trey Yesavage, is +5000).

“The U.S. books need the Blue Jays [to win the World Series. The Canadian books need the Dodgers,” said Gray.

Huge Acquisition Period for Canadian Books

A potential massive loss though is balanced out a little by the fact this has been a huge acquisition period for Canadian sportsbooks. Lots of first time bettors getting in on the action, Gray said.

“Compounding the cumulative loss potential is the Jays have been dogs all the way with some hefty +money prices on them getting hammered,” he said. “World Series outright today is now the first time they have been the favourite.”

What are Sportsbook Traders Saying?

“Before the World Series began, the Blue Jays winning it all was a good outcome for the sportsbook. Toronto is still the preferred winner, but we wouldn’t mind seeing a Game 7,” said Seamus Magee, Trading Manager, BetMGM.

Most bet props this morning at BetMGM: Guerrero Jr. Over 0.5 Home runs +400, Ohtani Over 0.5 Home runs +195, Alejandro Kirk Over 0.5 Home runs +700, Yamamoto Over 6.5 Strikeouts +100, Yoshinobu Yamamoto Over 18.5 Pitcher outs -149.

A scan at some of the lines this morning: Tonight’s game the Jays on the FanDuel ML are +120, the Dodgers -142, with the RL  Dodgers -1.5 (+114), Jays +1.5 (-134), and the O/U 7.5 (-114 on the O, -106 on the U).

A ESPN BET: ML is Jays +115, the Dodgers -135, with the RL  Dodgers -1.5 (+115), Jays +1.5 (-135), and the O/U 7.5 (-115 on the O, -105 on the U).

Ontario Bettors Riding the Blue Jays

According to DraftKings, Ontario bettors remain far more confident in the Blue Jays than bettors elsewhere on the platform heading into Game 6.

Across all DraftKings markets (mostly U.S.-based users), betting is relatively split – 51% of the handle and 50% of bets are on the Blue Jays (+123) to win Game 6, while 49% of the handle and 50% of bets back the Dodgers (-149).

Most bettors are also expecting offence, with 68% of the handle in the U.S. taking Over (7.5 runs).

By comparison, Ontario bettors are showing strong local support, with 83% of the handle and 80% bets on the Jays to win.
