I not sure the Blue Jays are getting a 50% premium on that.
Blue Jays average about 1M households at their peak (2016), that's pretty close to the 1.2M i've found reported for Leafs games on average at their peak. So my guess is they base their Blue Jays TV rights on what the Leafs are able to get.

Relative to the Leafs rights $75 million for the Blue Jays makes sense to me because the Blue Jays play twice as many games.
