Dodgers vs. Blue Jays Prediction for Over/Under – 4/7/26
Here are the key stats to know before locking in your Dodgers vs. Blue Jays prediction on the over/under for Tuesday, April 7 on PrizePicks.
- The Dodgers have launched 21 home runs, but that's an area of strength for Gausman. He hasn’t allowed more than 1.0 HR/9 in a season since 2020, when he was still with the San Francisco Giants.
- Since joining the Blue Jays before the 2022 season, the star right-hander has a 3.38 xFIP at home.
- Yamamoto pitched 6 innings and allowed exactly 2 runs in both of his first two starts. He has a 0.83 WHIP, building on his 0.99 WHIP from last season.
- Like Gausman, Yamamoto does a good job of keeping hitters inside the ballpark. Since he came over to the Dodgers, he's given up 0.8 HR/9.
- The Blue Jays’ lineup has been cold out of the gate, scoring 36 runs over 10 games. Over their last three games, they've combined to score 5 runs.
Dodgers vs. Blue Jays Picks for PrizePicks Today: 4/7/26
Here are some top Dodgers vs. Blue Jays picks to target for Tuesday, April 7. Today's PrizePicks MLB player picks are headlined by Blue Jays SP Kevin Gausman and Blue Jays OF George Springer.
Blue Jays SP Kevin Gausman vs. Dodgers Projection: 6 Strikeouts
- Gausman had 11 strikeouts against the Athletics in his first start of the season, then followed that up with 10 against the Colorado Rockies in his last outing.
- As dominant as those two performances were, the Athletics and Rockies swing and miss a lot, both ranking inside the top six in strikeouts this year and in the top 10 last year.
- The Dodgers were 16th in strikeouts last season and have only struck out 78 times through 10 games this season.
- Opposing SPs average 4.6 strikeouts against Los Angeles. Only one of the 10 starters they've faced recorded more than 6 strikeouts.

Blue Jays OF George Springer vs. Dodgers Projection: 1.5 Hits + Runs + RBIs
- Springer hasn't recorded more than 1 hit in a game this season. He's 6-for-40 (.150) with 3 RBIs and 3 runs scored.
- While the veteran OF batted .309 last season with 32 home runs, it might have been an outlier performance. Prior to that, he had hit .267 or worse in each of the last five seasons and hadn’t surpassed 25 HRs since 2019.
- Yamamoto held right-handed hitters to a .265 wOBA and a .315 SLG last season.
- With the addition of RP Edwin Diaz, the Dodgers have an improved bullpen behind Yamamoto that has given up just a 1.03 WHIP out of the gate.

- Although Max Muncy had two hits in Monday’s victory, he struck out three times. Over his last four games, Muncy has 9 strikeouts.
