White Sox at Blue Jays picks and predictions

Prediction

Blue Jays 8, White Sox 3

Moneyline

PASS.

Even though I envision the Blue Jays cruising to a win at home on Wednesday, wagering on them to win at the current odds (-190) is not advised.

Run line/Against the spread

BLUE JAYS -1.5 (+100) is the pick in this game with how these teams have been performing recently. Toronto has won by at least 2 runs in each of the first 2 games of the series and I expect Kopech to struggle again Wednesday.

Over/Under

OVER 10 (-105) is how I’d bet on the total with the Blue Jays swinging a hot bat in recent games. Kopech has surrendered at least 3 ER in 3 of his first 4 starts and Kikuchi has given up at least 1 HR in each start thus far.

There have been 10 runs or more scored in 7 of the last 9 meetings between these clubs, and the Over is 4-1 in the last 5 meetings in Toronto and 7-2 in the last 9 meetings overall.

Chicago White Sox at Toronto Blue Jays odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Tuesday’s Chicago White Sox at Toronto Blue Jays odds and lines, with MLB expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Chicago White Sox (7-16) play the 2nd contest of a 3-game series against the Toronto Blue Jays (14-9) Tuesday. First pitch at Rogers Centre is scheduled for 7:07 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the White Sox vs. Blue Jays odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: Blue Jays lead 1-0; they won series 4-2 in 2022

The White Sox are on a 5-game slide, and Chicago has scored a total of just 6 runs in the last 3 outings. While the pitching hasn’t been bad, allowing 5 or fewer runs in 5 of the last 6 games, Chicago has won just once in the last 8 contests since April 15. The Under is 4-1-1 in the previous 6 outings.

The Blue Jays picked up the 5-2 win in the series opener, as Toronto had 3 extra-base hits, including a HR by Cavan Biggio. Biggio also drove in 3 runs, while Vladimir Guerrero Jr. provided the speed with 2 stolen bases.

Toronto is looking for its 1st 3-game win streak since April 9-12. The Jays have allowed just 7 runs in the last 4 games, with the Under going 4-0 during the span, and 5-0-1 across the last 6 games overall.

White Sox at Blue Jays projected starters

RHP Mike Clevinger vs. RHP Jose Berrios

Clevinger (2-1, 3.26 ERA) makes his 5th start. He has a 1.50 WHIP, 5.1 BB/9 and 7.0 K/9 in 19 1/3 IP.

  • Is looking to bounce back after shortest outing of the season, allowing 3 ER, 6 H and 2 HR in just 3 IP in a loss to the Philadelphia Phillies
  • Hadn’t allowed a HR in his 1st 3 starts across 16 1/3 IP until his outing Wednesday

Berrios (1-3, 6.23 ERA) makes his 5th start. He has a 1.20 WHIP, 1.7 BB/9 and 8.7 K/9 in 21 2/3 IP.

  • Posted his 1st quality start last time out in Houston, allowing 2 ER, 3 H and 1 BB across 7 IP in a hard-luck loss Wednesday
  • Has allowed just 1 HR in 21 2/3 IP, while posting 5 or more K in 3 of his 4 outings

White Sox at Blue Jays picks and predictions

Prediction

Blue Jays 5, White Sox 3

Moneyline

The Blue Jays (-200) will cost you 2 times your potential return, and that’s just a little too steep for a singular wager.

While the White Sox (+165) have been horrific lately, dropping 5 in a row, and 7 of the past 8 games, you can’t take Toronto at such a heavy price.

AVOID, and look to the run line instead.

Run line/Against the spread

The BLUE JAYS -1.5 (-105) is a better play on the run line. Toronto covered in the series opener, and Toronto is 3-1 in the last 4 games as a favorite on the run line, and it is 7-3 in the last 10 as a favorite laying the runs.

The White Sox +1.5 (-115) have not only lost 5 in a row, and 7 of the last 8 games overall, Chicago is 2-4 in the last 6 on the run line as an underdog.

Over/Under

UNDER 9 (+100) is a solid play at even-money.

The Under is 4-1-1 in the last 6 games overall for the White Sox, while going 5-0-1 in the last 6 games for the Blue Jays.

The Under is also 5-1-2 in the previous 8 games on the road for the ChiSox, while going 5-1-1 in the last 7 road games against a right-handed starting pitcher. The Under is 5-0-1 in the last 6 for the Jays vs. RHP, while cashing at a 4-1-1 clip in the last 6 at home, too.
