The Chicago White Sox (16-20) make their first visit of the season to the Rogers Centre for a three-game series against the Blue Jays (15-20).
The Chisox and the Jays have near-identical w/l records and divisional position placements. But the differences stop there, as the White Sox have won four of their last six games, and the Blue Jays are two for eight and on a five-game losing streak.
While Chicago sports among the worst ERA in baseball, the Jays are third in that regard. This may come as little solace to Jays fans who?s team has been nearly shutout in all of their most recent three-game series here against the Minnesota Twins. Dating back to their still previous series against the Texas Rangers and you have a team searching for offensive answers,
No matter how well your pitching is, as long as the Jays don?t offer offence in tandem, success will not come easily for this outfit.
Nothing new here as the Jays have had trouble with their bats this season. They blow cold, then warm up, go on a winning run, then go cold again. Up they go, down they go.
It?s time to feast on some pitching.
GO JAYS GO!
