Blue Jays vs. White Sox series preview: Surging Toronto faces ... (Sportsnet.ca)

The Chicago White Sox will be missing injured shortstop Tim Anderson for their three-game series in Toronto against the Blue Jays.

The White Sox series is the first of four consecutive sets for Toronto against AL Central squads. Everything went wrong at first for the Blue Jays with struggling opening-day starter Jose Berrios unable to get out of the third inning on a day when the bullpen was running on fumes because of heavy use the rest of the series. Ryu was removed from his most recent start in L.A. last Thursday in the fifth inning because of tightness in his left elbow. McGuire (.194 average with zero homers and six RBIs in 72 at-bats) is the backup to Yasmani Grandal in Chicago. ... Same applies for Vladimir Guerrero Jr., who didn't start on Sunday (but later came in as a pinch hitter) because of a sore wrist. Giolito, who was on the COVID-19 injured list earlier this month, has allowed three or fewer runs in six of seven starts this season. Meanwhile, outfielder Eloy Jimanez had his rehab halted at triple-A Charlotte over the weekend because of right leg soreness. It should be a treat for fans when Giolito faces Gausman in the series opener. All the negative vibes from the first two thirds of May have been replaced by optimism over the past week. The latest triumph, 11-10 over the Los Angeles Angels on Sunday, capped the first sweep of the season for Toronto (27-20) – a four-gamer. Chicago RHP Michael Kopech (1-1. 1.29 ERA) Chicago RHP Lucas Giolito (3-1, 2.63 ERA)

White Sox vs. Blue Jays prediction: Picks, odds, live stream, TV ... (DraftKings Nation)

We go over how to watch Tuesday's game between the White Sox and Blue Jays and make some picks.

Gausman’s pitching excellence has continued to his new team, and it’s tough to point to a reason why the White Sox will come away with a victory here. Chicago enters this matchup with the fourth-fewest strikeouts per game, and they should get enough contact on Gausman to keep this strikeout number below 6 on Tuesday night. The Chicago White Sox and Toronto Blue Jays square off on Tuesday with first pitch set for 7:07 p.m. ET. The game takes place at Rogers Centre in Toronto and will only be available on local TV or through an MLB.tv subscription. Giolito will make his eighth start of 2022 and has not allowed more than 3 runs in any outing with a 2.63 ERA. The White Sox rank 27th in runs per game, and their top hitter Tim Anderson was sent to the injured list after suffering a groin injury on Sunday.

3 Factors That Will Decide Blue Jays-White Sox Series (Sports Illustrated)

Amid an AL wild-card race, three pivotal questions will decide if the Blue Jays maintain their winning streak.

The Blue Jays scooped up three more one-run victories against the Angels, making it now a league-leading 14 wins in one-run games this year. In a game with two horses on the mound, the better starter usually earns the win for his team. For two teams with underperforming offenses, that condition has been critical in victories this season. Here are three factors that will determine the Toronto-Chicago series. It was a chaotic recipe out West, but the Jays’ bats went wild and the club’s bullpen zig-zagged its way through several tense innings, including covering 6.2 frames in Sunday’s win. The result?

GameThread Game #48: White Sox at Blue Jays (Bluebird Banter)

Thanks to Tom for filling in and writing the GameThreads for me while I was underwater with work. I appear to have missed a lot of bad ballgames.

Mostly it’s “don’t be terrible,” but these days, it’s also, “please debate about baseball and not the coronavirus or vaccines.” If a moderator asks you to stop doing something, please stop. Right before Bo hit his homer, I said aloud that the Jays were due for one. I appear to have missed a lot of bad ballgames.

Alejandro Kirk hit a pair of two-run homers to power Toronto to a 6-5 victory over the Chicago White Sox on Tuesday night and help the Blue Jays extend ...

Bichette made a nice play to help snuff a Chicago threat in the eighth inning. If the throw goes there, you've just got to stop.' George Springer sparked Toronto's rally in the bottom half with a check-swing flare that floated into shallow right field. Second baseman Cavan Biggio applied the tag for the double play before McGuire crossed the plate. Toronto cleanup hitter Teoscar Hernandez doubled in the second and scored on Kirk's rainbow homer. I think it will really benefit us when it comes to crunch time [later in the year]."

… OF Eloy Jiménez (right hamstring) missed his second straight game at Triple-A Charlotte. Jiménez left Saturday’s game because of soreness in his leg. “I said, ‘First of all, tagging up on that play is a good play, but you’ve got a throw right in front of you,’” La Russa said. “I’m just trying to be more selective and looking for the pitch I want,” Kirk said through a translator. “He’s not striking out and he puts the ball in play.” Ryu went 0-2 with a 9.31 ERA in two 2021 starts against Chicago. Cimber came on and got Danny Mendick to ground into an RBI fielder’s choice, with McGuire advancing to third. Chicago lost for the third time in four games and fell below .500 (23-24). The right-hander has won four of his past six outings. It’s just very frustrating.” … INF Yoán Moncada (quadriceps) did not start for the fourth straight game. “I put up a big crooked number.

Partner Content | White Sox vs. Blue Jays picks and odds: Gausman ... (Toronto Star)

After a successful six-game road trip, the Toronto Blue Jays are back at Rogers Centre to face the Chicago White Sox on Tuesday evening.

And the standard moneyline (-175) doesn’t yield enough value. Blue Jays -1 (-117): We’re rarely in the business of teasing the run line up or down, but this is a way to protect against the Blue Jays’ rampant stretch of one-run ballgames. The under is 4-1 in his past five starts. Gausman hasn’t squared up with the White Sox since 2018, but we view that as a point in his favour. The lineup is looking far more promising these days, but we’re still going to pick our spots for riding the under. The pregame narrative: The Blue Jays went 5-1 away from home and bring a season-high five-game winning streak into the series opener on May 31.

Blue Jays 6, White Sox 5: Danny Mendick runs tying run off board (Sox Machine)

Despite a lineup so compromised by injury and illness that batting Yasmani Grandal leadoff struck Tony La Russa as a half-decent idea, the White Sox managed ...

He hit a solo shot off Gausman in the first inning to set the stage for a 4-for-5 night, coming up a triple short of the cycle. Toronto applied pressure with one out in the fifth, as George Springer dropped a single to right field, and Bo Bichette hopped a double over the side wall to put runners on second and third. Kirk then teed off on a 2-1 slider for his second two-run shot of the game. That run didn’t count, and nobody else crossed the plate for that matter, either. It wasn’t quite deep enough to ever consider a homer, but it was deep enough to rule out a throw home. Up came Mendick, who hit a chopper to the left side.
