Toronto Blue Jays vs. Chicago White Sox Prediction

I’m on the over here. I think Toronto’s biggest weakness within this team is their bullpen and I think Chicago can exploit that in what looks like a bullpen game for Toronto here. On the other side, I think Toronto has the more potent lineup offensively here and I think they’ll put up some runs here so give me the over here.
