The Blue Jays had a great 2025 season. They made it to the World Series and came close to winning the championship against the Dodgers, as you know.
All season long, they had the Yankees’ number. This was also the case in the series.
Despite everything, this did not prevent the big thinkers of major baseball from favoring the Yankees (who had not necessarily lost more or less pieces than the Blue Jays on the autonomy market) over the Blue Jays in their state of forces on November 10.
And today, this does not prevent the Bet Online platform from placing the Yankees as favorites (by two games) to win their division.
Since the Blue Jays beat the Yankees in 2025 and dominated the American League overall, they have spent more than $300 million trying to continue to improve.
In fact, they already have an off-season that can be described as excellent. They are also the favorites for Kyle Tucker, but that is not to be taken into account for today’s exercise.
The Yankees, them? They brought Trent Grisham back to too much big price. And if not?
We know that big markets often have an advantage in predictions of this kind. But logically, at the moment, it is difficult to see why the Bombardiers are the favorites in their division.
I’m not even sure I put them ahead of the Red Sox right now…
Note that in the National, there is no major anomaly of this kind at the top of a division. And we also note that according to the figures put forward to construct the predictions, no one is in line for easily win 100 games in 2026.
