This is a 10* on TORONTO

Based on the fact they have scored 117 more runs than they have allowed, you’d think Toronto would have one of the best records in baseball. But they don’t. They are stuck in fourth place in the American League East with a 65-58 record. They did win yesterday though, 2-1 over American League Central leading Chicago. The Blue Jays are 4.5 games out of the Wild Card and need to jump three teams. The White Sox postseason future is much more secure as they lead their division by nine games. So Toronto should be the team playing with a greater sense of urgency in this series. It also says a lot that they’d be favored to beat a team like the White Sox. Tonight’s pitching matchup has a lot to do with it. Jose Berrios, obtained in a trade with the Twins at the deadline, is no stranger to facing Chicago. He’s 12-4 in his career against them and has a 2.91 ERA. For the White Sox, starter Dylan Cease has never faced Toronto. Cease did allow four walks and two home runs in his most recent outing. The White Sox are only a .500 team on the road (30-30). They are 14-38 L52 as road underdogs. The way Toronto won last night’s game, scoring the game-winning run on a wild pitch, should give them some momentum heading into today. They are 12-4 L16 home games. Play on TORONTO
