Bieber, Blue Jays underdogs as ALCS shifts to Seattle for Game 3

Shane Bieber gets the ball for the Toronto Blue Jays on Wednesday night in Game 3 against the Seattle Mariners, with his team trailing 0-2 in the American League Championship Series.

Bieber and the Blue Jays are +110 underdogs on the moneyline for Game 3 on FanDuel, with Seattle priced at -130.

Bieber was pulled after just 2.2 innings in his lone start of the 2025 playoffs, allowing five hits while striking out two.

His strikeout total for Game 3 sits at 4.5 on FanDuel with the over at -144. That number comes with an implied probability of 59.02 per cent.

After entering the series as a small favourite to advance, Toronto is now +450 on FanDuel to reach the World Series.

How many innings will Bieber throw?

Bieber’s out total for Game 3 sits at 14.5 on FanDuel with the over at -130.

This season, in seven MLB regular-season starts, Bieber logged at least 15 outs in every outing.

In four career postseason starts, the 30-year-old has gone over this number twice.

With Toronto already down 0-2 and on the road in Game 3 there are two ways to approach this market.

The first is leaning into the idea that Bieber is a Cy Young winner and was acquired at the deadline for this exact game. If he brings his best stuff to Seattle for Game 3, he could be a huge factor in swinging this series by going deep into the game and finding a way to take the crowd out of the game, similar to what Seattle did in Toronto.

The second is understanding that with the team down 0-2, manager John Schinder likely won’t give Bieber too many opportunities to work his way out of trouble the first or second time through the order. And since Tuesday was a day off, most, if not all, the arms in the bullpen should be good to go.

The Blue Jays will need Bieber to be solid Wednesday night, but if the team is going to make a serious push to come back in this series, they need Vladimir Guerrero Jr. to get hot again.

After going 9-17 with three home runs and nine RBIs in the ALDS against the New York Yankees, Vlad went 0-7 in the opening two games against Seattle.
