Why The Blue Jays Could Cover The Spread

Kikuchi pitched very well in the month of June, but had a rough first start in July. However, with five good starts in June, his last one can almost be chalked up as a fluke. On the season, Kikuchi has a 9.4 K/9 and a .249 opponent batting average. The White Sox have struck out the 14th most times in the MLB and they have the ninth worst batting average. Kikuchi has been throwing well, so he should not have much problem with the White Sox lineup in his game.

Why The White Sox Could Cover The Spread

Scholtens is having a good season thus far. He has been extende in his last two outings, so he should be able to go at least five innings for this game. On the year, Scholtens has a 2.96 ERA and 1.06 WHIP in 27 1/3 innings pitched. Opponents are batting just .192 off of him, so he does a good job at inducing weak contact. If he can do that again in this game, the White Sox should be able to keep this game close. Double headers are tough because you do not know who might sit in game two, so the Blue Jays could easily sit a few of their better players.

Final Blue Jays-White Sox Prediction & Pick

I am going to ride with the White Sox in this game. They kept the first game close, and they have stretches in which they play better baseball. As long as they can score a few runs off Kikuchi, the White Sox will cover the spread.

Final Blue Jays-White Sox Prediction & Pick: White Sox +1.5 (-118), Over 9.5 (-115)
