Chicago White Sox vs. Toronto Blue Jays Prediction

I’m on the Blue Jays in this one. I just have no desire to back the White Sox and sustained/consistent success is not something we’ve been able to associate for much of the season. Toronto came out flat in the opener but overall this team has been fairly hot over the last few weeks and I think Toronto bounces back and gets their revenge here. Give me Toronto in this one.
