At the time of this writing, the following Match Odds/Moneyline were available: Chicago White Sox (2.12, +112) and Toronto Blue Jays (1.86, -116)
White Sox are 7-0 following a loss
Blue Jays are 0-4 following a win
Chicago's lack of offense was the primary cause of its 4-2 road defeat to Toronto at the Rogers Centre Friday night and the club's manager thinks the bats will come around. "We just don't have key hits. That's our problem most of the time. When you've got people on base, you need a hit," said Ozzie Guillen. "We took good at-bats. When there was an opportunity to drive the run in, we couldn't get it done." The White Sox left 10 runners on base and went 1-for-8 with runners in scoring position. The team is 6-20 in its last 26 games versus the Blue Jays, including a 3-13 mark at today's venue. Chicago is still 13-7 since May 7, tied for the fourth-best record in baseball over that span. The squad is 10-10 in day games this season and 67-63 under the sun the past three years.
White Sox starting pitcher Edwin Jackson will be making his 11th start of the season and sixth on the road, bringing in a 4-5 record and 4.26 ERA. The right-hander is an even 2-2 with a 2.08 ERA in his last four starts, but has gone 1-3 with a 6.59 ERA in his last four outings away from the Windy City. Jackson has allowed just four home runs in 10 starts this season, with all coming versus left-handed hitters. In 13 career appearances (12 starts) versus the Blue Jays, he is 3-3 with a 4.02 including a 1-0 mark and 2.43 ERA in his seven career appearances at Rogers Centre.
