Bet Tonight’s White Sox vs. Blue Jays Game
Sale is 4-0 on the season and has posted a 1.80 ERA over 30 innings of work. His .195 BABIP will come up at some point but both his 2.61 FIP and his 3.18 xFIP show a pitcher that has been fantastic in April. Over the last three seasons, Sale has a 2.35 ERA in three starts against the Blue Jays. He’s also pitched well at Rogers Centre, posting a 2.57 ERA over 14 innings of work, allowing five runs on eight eights.

Dickey is 1-2 on the year but his 3.32 FIP and his 4.03 xFIP show that his 6.10 ERA is somewhat inflated. He’s had some poor batted-ball luck (.369 BABIP) but his walk rate of 4.35 is concerning. Dickey has not pitched well against the White Sox over the last three years, posting a 1-3 record and a 5.90 ERA in 29 innings pitched.
OUR PICK: This is a nice price on the White Sox, who are 5-0 in Sale’s last five starts. They’re also 5-2 in their last seven games in Toronto and have won five of their last six games versus the Blue Jays overall. The White Sox are also 6-2 in their last eight games with Alan Porter behind home plate while the road team has cashed in 20 of Porter’s last 29 games behind home plate overall.
