Los Angeles Dodgers

As the Los Angeles Dodgers prepare to face off against the Toronto Blue Jays on August 10, 2025, fans can expect an exciting matchup between two teams in outstanding form. The Dodgers currently hold a record of 68-49, while the Blue Jays are not far behind at 68-50. Their recent game featured the Dodgers pulling off a sensational victory, further solidifying their strong season.

Projected to take the mound for the Dodgers is Tyler Glasnow, a right-handed pitcher ranked 21st among starting pitchers according to advanced metrics. His performance this season has been solid with a 3.06 ERA and a 1-1 record over 10 starts. However, Glasnow’s elevated 4.47 FIP suggests he may have been a bit fortunate thus far, which could lead to some vulnerability against a potent Blue Jays offense.

Toronto counters with Eric Lauer, a left-handed pitcher whose performance has been less favorable; he holds a 2.59 ERA but ranks among the lower tiers of MLB pitchers. Lauer’s 44% flyball rate could spell trouble against a Dodgers lineup that has been extremely powerful, ranking 2nd in home runs with 173 this season.

From an offensive standpoint, the Dodgers rank 2nd in the league, showcasing their explosive capabilities, while the Blue Jays claim the top spot as the best offense in MLB. Despite this, the projections indicate that the Dodgers are more likely to score runs, with an implied team total of 4.85, compared to the Blue Jays’ 3.65.

With Glasnow’s high strikeout rate facing off against a low-strikeout Blue Jays lineup, the key will be whether he can capitalize on his strengths while managing the slugging potential of the Dodgers. Given the Dodgers’ strong offensive metrics and home-field advantage, they remain the solid favorites heading into this high-stakes showdown.

Toronto Blue Jays Insights

• Eric Lauer – Over/Under 4.5 Strikeouts (+125/-160)
  Out of all starters, Eric Lauer’s fastball velocity of 90.9 mph is in the 19th percentile this year.
  Explain: Velocity is a key component to fastball success in generating strikeouts and preventing runs.
• Daulton Varsho – Over/Under 0.5 Hits (-120/-110)
  Daulton Varsho has primarily hit in the top-half of the batting order this season (72% of the time), but he is projected to hit 6th in the batting order in this game.
  Explain: The lower in the order a player bats, the fewer plate appearances he will get and the fewer opportunities he will get to hit the Over for every market. A player who hits lower in the order than he normally does may provide extra value opportunity since the market may be based on him hitting higher.
• The underlying talent of the Toronto Blue Jays projected batting order today (.319 projected wOBA via the leading projection system, THE BAT X) figures to be significantly weaker than their .333 wOBA this year.
  Explain: Betting lines are often based on seasonal team quality. If today’s lineup is watered down, however, there may be value if markets aren’t accounting for the lower quality of this offense.

Los Angeles Dodgers Insights

• Tyler Glasnow – Over/Under 17.5 Pitching Outs (-160/+125)
  Tyler Glasnow has been given a longer leash than the average pitcher this year, tallying 3.1 more adjusted pitches-per-start than the average starting pitcher.
  Explain: Pitchers with a longer leash are more likely to go deeper into games and record more outs.
• Teoscar Hernandez – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+115/-150)
  Teoscar Hernandez has seen a big improvement in his exit velocity of late; just compare his 97.2-mph average in the last week’s worth of games to his seasonal 90-mph average.
  Explain: Hitting the ball hard increases the chances of either a home run or the ball landing in fair territory for a hit before a fielder can get to it.
• Los Angeles Dodgers – 2H Moneyline
  The Los Angeles Dodgers bullpen grades out as the 5th-best in the majors, per the leading projection system (THE BAT).
  Explain: Most bettors only consider the starting pitcher, but a strong bullpen sneakily creates a tougher matchup for the opposing offense and suppresses a game’s runs.
