Following Toronto’s Game 4 victory over the New York Yankees to advance to the ALCS, the Jays are listed at +310 to win the World Series, trailing only the L.A. Dodgers at +200.

The defending World Series champion Dodgers remain the favourites to repeat despite dropping Game 3 of their NLDS series against the Philadelphia Phillies 8-2 on Wednesday night. The Dodgers still holds a 2-1 series lead, with Game 4 going Thursday in L.A. and a possible Game 5 scheduled for Saturday in Philadelphia.

Toronto beat the Yankees 5-2 on Wednesday to win the ALDS series 3-1. The Jays’ bats came alive, outscoring New York 34-19 in the series. Vladimir Guerrero Jr. was particularly clutch, homering in three of the four games and finishing with nine hits, nine RBIs and a .529 batting average.

Toronto will play the winner of the Tigers-Mariners series, with Game 5 set for Friday night. The winner of Dodgers-Phillies will head to the NLCS and face either the Brewers or Cubs, with Milwaukee leading that series 2-1.

Dodgers two-way star Shohei Ohtani is the favourite to be named World Series MVP at +400, followed by Guerrero at +1100.
