The White Sox Can Win If…

The Chicago White Sox are looking to turn things around after a close 6-8 loss to the St. Louis Cardinals. Andrew Benintendi had a strong performance with a home run and four RBIs. Ryan Noda also contributed with a home run, showing the team’s potential to generate runs.

Despite recent losses, the White Sox have some stats that work in their favor. They rank 14th in doubles and walks, which shows their ability to get on base and create scoring chances. Their pitching staff is capable of quality starts, ranking 12th in that category, which can help keep the game within reach.

Key players like Miguel Vargas and Lenyn Sosa are crucial for the White Sox. Vargas leads the team with 10 home runs and 32 RBIs, while Sosa has a solid batting average of .275. With Davis Martin on the mound, who has an ERA of 3.79, the White Sox have a chance to secure a win against the Toronto Blue Jays.

The Blue Jays Can Win If…

The Toronto Blue Jays are looking to bounce back after a 9-5 loss to the Arizona Diamondbacks. Despite the loss, Alejandro Kirk had a strong performance with two home runs and three RBIs. Jonatan Clase and Vladimir Guerrero Jr. also contributed with home runs, showing the team’s power potential.

The Blue Jays have a solid batting average of .255, ranking 5th in the league. Their ability to hit doubles is also impressive, with 129 so far, placing them 5th. This offensive strength can help them score runs against the Chicago White Sox.

Spencer Turnbull will start for the Blue Jays, boasting a low ERA of 2.08. His ability to control games can be a key factor in securing a win. With strong hitters like Bo Bichette and Vladimir Guerrero Jr. in the lineup, the Blue Jays have a good chance to outscore their opponents.

The Lean

The Blue Jays are the favorites with a MoneyLine of -208 against the White Sox at +172. The Blue Jays have a better batting average and on-base percentage, which gives them an edge. My model projects the Blue Jays to win with a score of 5-3.

The total for this game is set at 9.0 runs. Both teams have similar earned run averages, but the Blue Jays’ stronger offense suggests a higher scoring game. My model projects a total score of 8 runs, so I recommend betting on the under.

Blue Jays Have Eyes on the Prize as They Host Skidding White Sox

The Toronto Blue Jays are starting to talk about more than just a wild card spot. With the first-place Yankees recently stumbling, Toronto sees an opportunity to make a run at the division crown as they open a three-game series against the visiting Chicago White Sox on Friday night.

Toronto’s Goal: Win the Division

After a recent hot streak, the Blue Jays are just three games out of first place in the American League East. Manager John Schneider is making it clear that his team is aiming high.

“The goal every year is to try to win the division,” Schneider said. “A lot to go, but it’s nice to look up and say we’re playing well and where we are in terms of games back.” This is a key series for a team trying to climb the standings among other contending MLB teams.

White Sox Keep Fighting Through Skid

The White Sox are in a much different position, currently mired in a season-high-tying eight-game losing streak. They are coming off a tough doubleheader loss on Thursday where they had chances to win both games but couldn’t close them out. Despite the results, the team insists its spirit isn’t broken.

“We keep putting ourselves in positions to win,” said outfielder Andrew Benintendi. “Just keep working on it… at some point, it will turn.” The psychology of a long losing streak is a difficult challenge, a topic explored in our expert betting guide

The Pitching Matchup

Friday’s game features a big moment for the Blue Jays’ rotation as right-hander Spencer Turnbull (1-0, 2.08 ERA) will make his first start for the team. After two solid relief appearances, Turnbull gets a chance to show what he can do as a starter.

The White Sox will counter with righty Davis Martin (2-7, 3.79 ERA), who has struggled this season and was hit hard by Toronto in his only career appearance against them. This pitching matchup will be a key focus on the scores and odds board.
