Toronto Blue Jays vs Chicago White Sox Prediction

Both starting pitchers are coming off a strong start, and both are going to have strong starts again here. Crochet in his last start gave up zero runs for the White Sox. Kikuchi in his last start gave up only one run in his last start, and he’s going to dominate again here. The White Sox’s offense has been a major problem all season, and it’s going to continue here. This game will be low scoring and the under is going to cash.
