PREVIEW
The White Sox have now won 10 of 11 games, making them one of the hottest teams in baseball right now. They are entertaining the Toronto Blue Jays tonight in the first of a 3 game series.
The Blue Jays send their ace Ricky Romero to the mound. He is 6-1 with a 4.04ERA. He is also 2-0 with a 3.54ERA in 3 career starts against the White Sox. Romero has gone 1-1 on the road this season but his career stats show this is a consistent pitcher, with a 3.64ERA.
The White Sox are starting Phil Humber today. He hit the news with a perfect game early in the season but still owns just a 2-2 record with an untidy 5.37ERA. He has managed just 13 wins over his career and has managed just 1 win in his last 7 starts. Hardly inspiring stuff.
Humber is even worse at home, going 0-1 with a 6.26ERA in 5 home starts. He has made 4 appearances against the Blue Jays in his career, including 2 starts, and has yet to win, with a 3.24ERA.
The Blue Jays are underdogs for this one, but they have won 4 of their last 6 coming into this, meaning the form is good. They also have a great pitcher. Chicago may be on a hot streak but the man throwing the baseball is unreliable, especially at home where he fails to deal with pressure. We are getting a great price on Toronto and cannot ignore it.
BETTING VERDICT
I'll go with the visiting Toronto Blue Jays to win outright.
