Betting on the Toronto Blue Jays' bats has been tough this year, but staff ace Kevin Gausman has the stuff to baffle the best lineup in baseball and deliver another strong performance.
Find out why with my Blue Jays vs. Dodgers predictions and free MLB picks for Tuesday, April 7.
Dodgers vs Blue Jays predictions
Dodgers vs Blue Jays best bet: Kevin Gausman Over 17.5 outs (-160)
The Toronto Blue Jays need a big outing from their ace today, with the rash of injuries and illnesses befalling the pitching staff.
Fortunately, Kevin Gausman has been terrific this season, allowing just one run and three hits through his first two outings, while also striking out 21 combined batters.
Gausman’s outs prop is posted at 17.5, a number he’s cleared in both games this season.
The Jays righty has also excluded that outs total in three straight appearances against the Los Angeles Dodgers lineup, who own just a .227 batting average against Gausman throughout his career.
COVERS INTEL: The Dodgers have an .097 xBA against the splitter this season, with a 40% K-rate.
Dodgers vs Blue Jays same-game parlay (SGP)
Teoscar Hernandez has struck out in seven straight outings and struggles mightily against the splitter, with a 52% whiff rate and a 41% strikeout rate in 2025. Gausman has struck Hernandez out 10 times in just 22 career at-bats against each other.
For my final leg, I’ll bet on Guerrero to go Over 1.5 total bases. Vladdy has recorded a hit in seven of 10 games so far this season and is 3-for-8 in his career against Yamamoto. He's also remained among MLB's elite in expected batting average, expected slugging, bat speed, and strikeout rate. More success is coming.
Dodgers vs Blue Jays SGP
- Kevin Gausman Over 17.5 outs
- Vladimir Guerrero Over 1.5 total bases
- Teoscar Hernandez Over 1.5 batter strikeouts
Dodgers vs Blue Jays home run pick: Vladimir Guerrero Jr. (+475)
This is a half-unit bet.
Yamamoto gave the Jays fits in the World Series, but if there’s one Blue Jays batter with the confidence to take him deep, it’s Vladdy.
Yamamoto relies on his fastball/splitter combination, and Guerrero owns the highest OPS against the splitter in the Jays lineup and has a career 1.000 OPS against him.
Additionally, Guerrero has homered five times in 62 at-bats against this Dodgers pitching staff with a 1.169 career OPS.
