Toronto Blue Jays at Chicago White Sox Betting Preview

The Toronto Blue Jays and Chicago White Sox will continue their series on Wednesday night in a matchup of potential MLB playoff teams. It was the White Sox that came away with a 6-1 win in the series opener, and Toronto will try to cool them off.

Toronto has gone 4-4 in its last eight games, and this team just can’t seem to find any real consistency. The Blue Jays are now seven games out of first in the AL East, and they need to turn things around in a hurry.

Chicago brings a 37-23 record into this game, and it looks like a favorite to win the World Series. The White Sox now have a four-game lead in the AL Central, but that lead could balloon at any time.

The Chicago White Sox are -152 over the Blue Jays on Wednesday night.

Toronto Struggling to Score

The Blue Jays have put together a great offensive lineup of young talent, but that group has been struggling to score of late. Toronto has scored just four total runs in its last two games, and they are going to have to do better than that on Wednesday.

Vladimir Guerrero Jr. has not had any trouble at the plate this season, and he is putting up some monster numbers. Guerrero Jr. leads the Blue Jays with 18 home runs and 47 RBIs, but he will have the full attention of Chicago in this game.

Robbie Ray struck out 13 batters on Tuesday night, but it was not enough to beat Chicago. It will be Alek Manoah that gets a shot Wednesday, and he is 1-0 with a 3.86 ERA this season.

Lynn Leading Sox Charge

Lance Lynn will be on the mound for Chicago on Wednesday, and few pitchers have pitched as well as he has this season. Lynn has gone 7-1 with an ERA under two, and he has given the White Sox exactly what they have needed.

Chicago also has one of the top bullpen units in the American League, and they are tough to beat if they get an early lead.

On the offensive side of things, Jose Abreu leads the way with 11 home runs and 46 RBIs. Chicago has started to heat up as the weather has gotten warmer, and they present a real challenge for opposing pitchers.

White Sox Roll Again

Toronto is eventually going to turn things around on offense again, but it’s hard to see that happening in this game. The Blue Jays need to find a way to give Guerrero Jr. some help, and they need to hit for a better average.

Chicago is still missing some key pieces to the offensive lineup, but it hasn’t slowed them down of late. This White Sox team knows that it can win a World Series, and they have been extremely tough at home.

The White Sox are simply playing too well at the moment, and they aren’t losing behind Lance Lynn. Bet the Chicago White Sox -2.0 over the Toronto Blue Jays on Wednesday as the home team picks up another win.
