The Chicago White Sox (23-24) and Toronto Blue Jays (28-20) will go head-to-head in Toronto on Wednesday.
Last Games Records
The Blue Jays just did escape with a 6-5 home victory over the White Sox on Tuesday in Game 1 of a three-game set between these teams. Chicago is aiming to bounce back and upset Toronto at home.
The Blue Jays have won six games in a row and are currently one of the hottest teams in MLB. Meanwhile, Chicago has dropped three of their past five games and has failed to meet their lofty expectations this season.

Chicago White Sox Betting Analysis
The White Sox haven’t found any form of consistency this year. They have been on the verge of multiple hot streaks before faltering time and time again. The general consensus still expects them to get hot at some point.
But it needs to happen soon.
Chicago’s rankings don’t look like a top-tier team. They are 18th in ERA, 25th in WHIP, and 20th in batting average against.
Offensively, the White Sox are 17th in batting average, 28th in OBP, 25th in slugging, and 28th in runs scored. Chicago has produced bottom-level offensive numbers.
This is shocking since they were supposed to have one of the deeper lineups in MLB.
Chicago will attempt to turn their 2022 season around against a red hot Blue Jays team in Toronto in this Game 2 affair. The White Sox are sending Michael Kopech (1-1, 1.29) to the mound on Wednesday. Kopech has certainly been a bright spot for the team.
Toronto Blue Jays Betting Analysis
The Blue Jays also did not get off to the start that they wanted. But they are beginning to look like an elite team.
Toronto has won six games in a row, and their offense has been rolling as of late. They haven’t scored less than six runs in any of their previous five-ball games.
Their offensive rankings as a team are still mediocre due to a lackluster start to the season. But they are climbing the rankings in almost every category and could produce a top-level offense by the season’s end.
The Blue Jays’ pitching has been another major reason for their success. They rank 10th in ERA and 12th in WHIP.
Kevin Gausman has produced Cy Young caliber numbers to open the season. The rest of the staff has followed suit and pitched fairly well.
However, one pitcher who has endured his share of struggles is Hyun-Jin Ryu (2-0, 5.48). The veteran left-hander has surrendered a ton of hard contact and looks nothing like his former self. He will try to get back on track against a laboring White Sox lineup.

White Sox at Blue Jays Betting Preview
Betting on baseball seems easy when you have one team like the Blue Jays playing well and another struggling like the White Sox. However, MLB has a way of surprising you, and it can be difficult to trust MLB odds and MLB betting trends.
The White Sox hold a nice pitching advantage with Kopech toeing the rubber. Meanwhile, Ryu has failed to get anything going so far this season.
But the Blue Jays lineup is hot right now, and the White Sox continue to be a bottom feeder from an offensive perspective.
If you are betting on the over/under, take the over in this one. I wouldn’t be surprised to see both teams post a crooked number.
In the end, take the Blue Jays with your betting selection.
