Blue Jays at White Sox picks and predictions

Prediction

Blue Jays 6, White Sox 4

I’ll take the BLUE JAYS (-125) in Tuesday’s matchup even though they were just swept by the Red Sox. The Blue Jays are 4-0 in the last 4 meetings with the White Sox and they’ve outscored them 20-2 in the 3 meetings back in April.

The BLUE JAYS -1.5 (+125) are solid value with how they have performed against the White Sox this season. Toronto won by 3 or more runs in each of the previous 3 meetings.

OVER 8.5 (-110) is the lean Tuesday with both teams sending out inconsistent pitchers. Bassitt and Giolito have given up homers this season and both teams are 12th or better in ISO against right-handed pitching since the start of June.

The White Sox are 5-0 to the Over in their last 5 overall. The Over is also 3-1-1 in the last 5 meetings between these clubs in Chicago and 7-3 in the last 10 meetings overall.
