The Toronto Blue Jays have shortened their World Series odds to around 3-1 at most online sportsbooks after eliminating the New York Yankees in their best-of-five American League Division Series on Wednesday night.
Toronto had around +600 odds to win the World Series heading into the series and was listed as a +125 underdog to win the best-of-five against the Yankees. It needed just four games to prevail and advance to the American League Championship Series.
The Blue Jays opened with long +6000 odds to win the World Series at BetMGM this season, making them the longest preseason underdog remaining in the MLB playoff field.

Who will the Blue Jays play next?
The Blue Jays will now play either the Detroit Tigers or Seattle Mariners in a best-of-seven series beginning Sunday at Rogers Centre. Detroit and Seattle will play a do-or-die Game 5 on Friday, with the victor earning the right to square off with Toronto, which will have home advantage in the ALCS by virtue of having the best regular season record in the AL.
Additionally, the Blue Jays are in an ideal situation in regard to their starting pitching rotation, as they have a fresh Kevin Gausman lined up to pitch in Game 1, seeing as he didn’t have to take the mound in a potential Game 5 against the Yankees.
Toronto won the regular season series with both Seattle (4-2) and Detroit (4-3), but there might be a slight preference to play the Tigers in the ALCS. Detroit’s major strength is the superhuman arm of starting pitcher Tarik Skubal, who is scheduled to throw in Game 5 on Friday against the Mariners. That means Toronto wouldn’t likely see Skubal until Game 3 of a potential ALCS matchup with Detroit, which could be highly beneficial for the Blue Jays.
Seattle boasts a strong pitching staff from top to bottom featuring four solid starting pitchers as well as the MLB leader in home runs, Cal Raleigh, who blasted 60 homers during the regular season.
One major positive for the Blue Jays no matter who they draw in the ALCS is that Canadian fans will have the opportunity to make the short trek across the border to either Seattle or Detroit to support the team on the road. Seattle, in particular, has historically been flooded by Blue Jays fans on the West Coast whenever they play at T-Mobile Park.
