The Toronto Blue Jays and Los Angeles Dodgers continue their dogfight with Game 4 of the World Series scheduled for 8 p.m. ET on Tuesday night.
The pregame narrative: Los Angeles took a 2-1 lead in an 18-inning Game 3 victory, leading to little rest for these clubs. We’re treated to another big-name pitching matchup tonight, as Shane Bieber and Shohei Ohtani get the assignments.
Check out my same-game parlay Blue Jays vs. Dodgers predictions, featuring four legs and prop plays on Bieber, Ohtani and Bo Bichette.

Blue Jays vs. Dodgers predictions
Bieber over 4.5 Ks | Ohtani under 7.5 Ks | Over 7.5 runs | Bichette 1+ hit (+440)
Bieber over 4.5 Ks (-139): After Toronto used eight relievers in its extra-inning loss, I feel good about Bieber staying in long enough to get to this number.
And I think the inning component is key here, as Bieber hasn’t exactly been great this postseason.
Layered around a terrific ALCS start against the Mariners was a strenuous outing vs. Seattle and a subpar ALDS performance.

Tonight’s game is high stakes. But last night’s marathon with Game 5 on deck tomorrow will likely work in Bieber’s favour from a length standpoint.
Bieber is 2-1 vs. this line in the postseason after going 4-3 in the regular season.
MLB SGP picks
Ohtani under 7.5 Ks (-240): What I said about Bieber could be applied to Ohtani, but we’re also talking about a different number.
And it’s one that starting pitchers have failed miserably at covering against Toronto this postseason.
Yoshinobu Yamamoto is the only starter to top this number vs. the Blue Jays in 14 playoff games. He got to eight Ks in Game 2, going the distance.
Toronto has faced some tough arms, too:

- Carlos Rodon
- Cam Schlittler
- Logan Gilbert
- George Kirby
- Luis Castillo
- Blake Snell
- Tyler Glasnow
None of those pitchers even recorded six Ks.
Ohtani has massive strikeout upside like many of the above names and is coming off a 10-strikeout game, but Toronto’s lineup has been a challenge all season.
The Jays had the lowest K rate in MLB, and that has remained the case in the playoffs.
Toronto has a 15.3 K%. The San Diego Padres are next at 19% over three games.
Over 7.5 runs (-137): These are two great offences that are 2-1 vs. this number through three games.
Toronto went 8-3 vs. this line in its other two playoff series.

Los Angeles has a lot more unders but much of that is a result of its elite pitching, which Toronto has been more than competent against.
After both teams threw everything but the kitchen sink at each other in Game 3, I’m banking on fatigue leading to less crisp stuff from the pitchers.
Bo Bichette World Series prop pick
Bichette 1+ hit (-295): This leg takes us from +340 to +440, a modest spike for a play I like.
Bichette was held to a pinch-hitting appearance in Game 2 and lifted early in the other two World Series games.

That said, he had a pair of hits last night and singled in Game 1. He’s dealing with a bad knee but can still hit the ball, and was a beast in the regular season.
The 27-year-old hit an MLB-best .370 in the second half.
Bichette also handled high-end velocity well, which he’ll see plenty of between Ohtani and the Dodgers’ bullpen.
