Toronto is 11-4 in their last 15 games against the AL Central and 0-4 in their last 4 series-opening games while the under is 3-1-1 in their last 5 Tuesday games. Chicago is 2-7 in their last 9 games following a win and 5-2 in their last 7 games against the AL East while the over is 5-0 in their last 5 games overall.
Pick
I’m backing the White Sox here. I just can’t really trust Chris Bassitt on the road in his current form, and the Blue Jays bats have had a tendency to be inconsistent as well. Chicago hasn’t been great either against righties, but Lucas Giolito’s done his best work at home and I just don’t see a reason why the Jays should be road favorites here. Give me the White Sox.
