Toronto Blue Jays 2024 World Series Odds
In the first half of the 2024 season, the Toronto Blue Jays were one of the biggest disappointments on the MLB board. Gamblers are furious at the lack of value offered by the Blue Jays, who are one of the biggest money losers on the board. Toronto’s metrics are among the worst in baseball except for quality starting pitching. However, the starters have been done in by a bullpen that has collapsed. Equally frustrating is that the Blue Jays have the 8th-ranked payroll in baseball, which means they are not getting anywhere near the return on the investment made on talent.

For the third time in four years, the Toronto Blue Jays made the playoffs as a wild-card team. All three times, the Blue Jays were eliminated in two games. The recent success of Toronto has made them a relatively popular team with gamblers. But that popularity has driven down Toronto’s value. Despite winning 91 games in 2022 and 92 games in 2023, the Blue Jays finished in the red in both campaigns. Toronto is not a hot commodity on the futures market for 2024 but does get a moderate among of support based on its recent winning ways.
Last season was an ugly one against the oddsmakers for the Toronto Blue Jays. But that will not deter gamblers from shopping them based on their reputation as a playoff team and top contender.
