There’s no question that this season has been a challenging one for Stroman, who started the year slowly and spent time on the disabled list with shoulder fatigue early on. That’s why when Jays fans saw that old swagger return to Stroman’s game in his last start, optimists finally had something to cheer about. The righty went seven innings and surrendered only one run in his second quality start in three games. He’ll look to build on that momentum against the lowly White Sox.
Chicago will send Reynaldo Lopez to the mound to face Toronto on Friday. The 24-year-old has been a bright spot in an otherwise abysmal season for Chicago. He’s second on the team in innings pitched to compliment staff ace James Shields. But pitching for a team that has scored the fifth fewest runs in the Majors isn’t going to result in many wins. Chicago will attempt to take advantage of home field and add a win to their record with Lopez at the helm.
MLB Odds: White Sox and Blue Jays Face Off
This Friday (8:10 PM ET), the Toronto Blue Jays will kick off the first of three games against the Chicago White Sox. After dropping a series to the Twins earlier this week, the Jays will look to get back in the win column against the bottom-dwelling White Sox.
Chicago hasn’t been able to get anything going this year. They rank 24th in runs scored and 28th in team ERA for a whopping -127 run differential. They’ll be hard pressed to improve upon that against the Jays’ Marcus Stroman who appears to be rediscovering his old ways. Don’t miss the action between these AL clubs.
