Blue Jays vs White Sox Prediction
The White Sox continue to pile up the losses as they’ve won just once since June 11, and even with a pitcher like Martin, who has held his own, they’ve lost four of his last five starts. I’ve said it before, but I want nothing to do with the White Sox. Turnbull has just 4.1 innings under his belt this season, but who cares? The White Sox are awful, and the Blue Jays remain one of the better teams in baseball over the last month. Give me the Blue Jays and the RL for max betting value.
