Chicago is 13-4 in their last 17 game two’s of a series and 5-3 in their last 8 games against the AL East. The over is 3-0-1 in Chicago’s last 4 Wednesday games. Toronto is 5-0 in these two teams last 5 head to head meetings.
Pick
Chicago has been very disappointing this season, but they are still within striking distance in the AL Central. Toronto has played much better than Chicago has this year, but they are playing in the highly competitive AL East and are currently fourth in the standings. Toronto is starting Jose Berrios, who has allowed 4, 2, and 5 earned runs over his last three starts. Chicago is starting Lance Lynn, who has allowed 5, 3, 3, 4, and 5 earned runs over his last five starts. I have to fade Lance Lynn in this game and take the Blue Jays to get the win.
