Prediction
Blue Jays 4, White Sox 3
Money line (ML)
Chicago and Toronto have split the first two games of this series.
The White Sox are oversold by an offense that has faced a lot of weak pitching in the AL Central and by a slightly fortunate overall tumble of pitching schedules.
The Blue Jays are undersold by their .524 win percentage. They’ve been hampered by a 9-14 mark in 1-run games. A total of 23 1-run games is notably low – but the price on the run line doesn’t offer as much relative value as the TORONTO (-125) play here.

Run line/Against the spread (ATS)
PASS on the extra juice drowning the price on the Jays winning by 2 or more runs.
Over/Under (O/U)
The Under has hit the last two nights and is 4-0-1 in the five meetings this season.
Toronto has scored 3 or fewer runs in eight of its last 11 games. Figure both offenses as being a click or two too far out over their skis with their surface numbers. BACK THE UNDER 8.5 (-112).
