The Chicago White Sox defensive-first mindset has them as the best UNDER play in baseball, with the ChiSox failing to top the closing total in 14 of their 19 games this season including each of their last eight outings. Bettors will be hoping the White Sox can continue this trend when they start their series against the Toronto Blue Jays Monday.
The White Sox struggling offense will be facing Blue Jays’ ace when Marcus Stroman takes the mound at the Rogers Centre. Stroman, who has not registered a loss since June 2014, has posted a 4.13 ERA and a 0.99 WHIP through four appearances so far this season.
Miguel Gonzalez will get the start for the White Sox after signing a minor league contract shortly before the start of the season. Gonzalez, who has spent his entire career with the Baltimore Orioles, is coming off the worst year of his career when he posted a 4.91 ERA with a 1.40 WHIP in 26 starts.
