The Toronto Blue Jays will look to avoid being swept by the Chicago White Sox today in a matinée on the south side. The first two could have gone either way, with the Jays losing by just one run in each, so they are due. Ross Stripling will be at the helm for the Jays. Strip is 3-2 on the season with a 3.28 ERA, a 1.07 WHIP, and is 2-0 lifetime against the Sox with an ERA that doesn’t exist, at 0.00. The White Sox will counter with Lucas Giolito, who is not the force he once was. Giolito is 4-3 with a 4.78 ERA, a 1.49 WHIP, and was lit up in his last turn against the Astros, yielding 8 runs on 7 hits, resulting is a 13-3 beatdown by Houston. Toronto is 5-0 in their last 5 after losing the first two games of a series and get back on track today.
