Today’s matchup is between the Toronto Blue Jays (30-28) and the Chicago White Sox (37-23). The Blue Jays have won 2 of their last 5 games & the White Sox have won 4 of their last 5 games.
The Blue Jays are starting Alek Manoah (RHP), who is 1-0 on the season with a 3.86 ERA, 6.77 FIP, 0.324 wOBA, K% of 30%, BB% of 12.5%, 86.7 MPH average exit velocity, and a 1.21 WHIP in 9.1 innings pitched.
The White Sox are starting Lance Lynn (RHP), who is 7-1 on the season with a 1.23 ERA, 3.02 FIP, 0.226 wOBA, K% of 26.8%, BB% of 7.2%, 88.5 MPH average exit velocity, and a 0.93 WHIP in 58.2 innings pitched.
The Blue Jays are 15th in the Majors in Relieving Pitching (WAR) while the White Sox are 3rd.
On the hitting side, the Blue Jays have a .330 wOBA and a .323 OBP with 84 HRs. While the White Sox have a .330 wOBA and a .341 OBP with 60 HRs.
I have a very hard time trying to bet against Lance Lynn & White Sox's. They are playing great baseball at the moment and I don't see Alek Manoah leading the Blue Jays to a victory in this game. That said if you like the Blue Jays they do have the power to hit a homerun or 2 and make the game interesting.
