Blue Jays vs. White Sox Picks
Money Line Pick for Blue Jays vs. White Sox
- Toronto Blue Jays ML (4 Units)
The Blue Jays have the edge in this game because they’re playing well offensively. They’ve been very good at making contact against right-handers, and they’re going up against Martin, who struggled on the mound in his first start and gave up nine runs in his last three starts. He also gave up nine runs in his last three home starts, so expect him to have a hard time slowing down the Blue Jays.
The White Sox will have a hard time keeping up with the Blue Jays because they’ve struggled at the plate, and they’re batting under .200 against left-handers. Lauer has done a good job on the mound for the Blue Jays, giving up two runs in his last two starts, so expect him to keep Chicago’s offense in check. Take Toronto on the money line.
