Toronto Blue Jays vs. Chicago White Sox Prediction
I’m on the over here. I do think the Blue Jays win here, but I just worry that Bassitt hasn’t been as sharp on the road this season and I think that even if this ends up being a one-sided affair, that we’re headed for some runs in this game when all is said and done. Give me the over in this one.
