Key Storylines
Hot Bats in the North
Toronto is coming into this matchup riding a wave of momentum, having won six of their last eight games. The Blue Jays’ offense has started to click, with Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and Bo Bichette heating up just in time for a midseason surge. Guerrero is batting .325 with 5 home runs and 15 RBIs in his last 12 games, while Bichette has four straight multi-hit games entering Saturday’s matchup.
White Sox in Freefall
The White Sox, on the other hand, have dropped eight of their last ten and sit near the bottom of the AL Central. Their struggles at the plate continue, ranking last in team batting average (.216) and runs scored. Pitching, which started strong this season, has also regressed, allowing 5 or more runs in six of their last nine games.
Probable Pitchers
White Sox: Michael Kopech (2-7, 5.42 ERA)
Blue Jays: José Berríos (6-4, 3.24 ERA)
Berríos has been rock-solid for Toronto and has gotten better as the season progresses. The right-hander has allowed just 3 earned runs over his last three starts (20.2 innings) and boasts a 1.25 WHIP on the year. Kopech continues to battle command issues, walking 35 batters in just 61 innings. Facing a potent Jays lineup in Rogers Centre could spell disaster for him.
Injury Report
White Sox:
Out: Eloy Jiménez (hamstring), Luis Robert Jr. (hip), Yoán Moncada (back)
Blue Jays:
Out: Kevin Gausman (shoulder), Jordan Romano (elbow)
Day-to-day: George Springer (rest)
