This isn't really possible without editing the syntax definition, which is basically just a YAML file with regex patterns. https://github.com/sharkdp/bat/blob/master/assets/syntaxes/02_Extra/log.sublime-syntax.

Likely you'd want to add a new - match to the main_without_log_level_line context to look for { and embed the JSON syntax and pop at EOL.
You should be able to experiment by copying the log.sublime-syntax file to your bat config folder and following the instructions https://github.com/sharkdp/bat/tree/master#adding-new-syntaxes--language-definitions

If you can share some example log lines, I might be able to spare some time to work on it at some point.
