Game 1 preview
Toronto has dominated Chicago this season, earning a three-game sweep of the White Sox at Rogers Centre back in April to pair with Wednesday’s 4-3 victory.
The Blue Jays are 7-3 against the White Sox dating back to the start of 2022.
Berrios was lights out in his lone start against Chicago this season, fanning nine batters over seven shutout innings in a win on April 25. So why is Toronto just a -125 favourite?
Well, Berrios has struggled mightily against Chicago in the past. As a former Twin, the righty has gone up against the White Sox plenty in his career, and the current lineup has a .294 BA and .448 SLG against him in 163 at-bats, per Baseball Savant.
Toronto will go up against Lance Lynn, who is in the midst of his worst career season.
The once down-ballot Cy Young vote-getter has a 6.47 ERA to pair with a 5.10 FIP in 17 starts. He still owns a solid 10.9 K/9, though, and has registered 30 strikeouts across his past three starts.
Lynn gave up four earned runs in five innings against the Blue Jays earlier this year.
All four matchups between the Blue Jays and White Sox this season have fallen under today’s 9.0 run total.
Game 2 of today’s doubleheader is projected to start at 8:10 p.m. ET with Yusei Kikuchi pitching for Toronto.
