They are 7-15 on the road this year. They have no bullpen. Toronto is extremely hot. Their terrible on the turf. The defense is God awful. They play no defense. No team speed team, on the downslide and Frank has no clue right now. Konerko looks bad at the plate. Toronto's first 5 hitters all over 300. Halladay is pitching lights out right now. I would think that if you didn't take Toronto you would stay off the game. I am looking for all logical answers. Gl on all your plays today. Please reply! Will be back later to check it out. Thanks

Not everyone's on the White Sox :)

Not everyone's on the White Sox :)

The Toronto Blue Jays go for their sixth straight win tonight when they host the Chicago White Sox in the second of a four-game set at the SkyDome.

The Blue Jays followed a four-game sweep of the Yankees by beating the White Sox 11-5 last night. They have won 9 of their last 11 to improve to third place in the AL East at 28-24. Hot right-hander Roy Halladay hasn't issued a walk in 26 innings and tonight will be seeking his sixth straight win following an 0-2 start. In five career appearances against the White Sox he is 0-1, 3.60 ERA.

The White Sox are just 3-7 their last 10 overall to be third in the AL Central at 23-27. They have dropped 10 of their last 12 road games and are just 7-15 on the highway this season. Tonight they welcome back Bartolo Colon from a five-game suspension and the right-hander has won his last three starts to improve to 5-3, 3.61 ERA. He has 11 career starts against the Blue Jays and owns a 6-2 record and 3.79 ERA.

We'll go with the hot home team tonight and recommend the surging Blue Jays.

Recommended Play: Blue Jays -135

Basically w/6 straight wins, people are thinking the law of averages will catch up w/them and they will lose one.

Basically the same reason people are on the yankees, since they lost all those games in a row.

But I agree w/u guys Toronto and Boston for me!

GL!!:)

They are 7-15 on the road this year.

2-7 against MIN, OAK, & SEA, who always give them trouble


They have no bullpen.

Wunsch, Gordon and Marte have all been great as of late. Colon has gone 7 or more in 6 of his 10 starts.

Toronto is extremely hot.

Agreed

Their terrible on the turf.

Yep, their defensive weaknesses show up more on the turf

The defense is God awful. They play no defense.

Defense has been playing fine. Just an inning that got out of control last night

No team speed team

Because they don?t steal bases doesn?t mean they don?t have speed

on the downslide and Frank has no clue right now. Konerko looks bad at the plate.

Konerko looks comfortable and is hitting the ball pretty well, IMO. Frank hasn?t had a clue for 2 ? years

Toronto's first 5 hitters all over 300. Halladay is pitching lights out right now.

Colon?s got better #s over the last 3 and through the year

I would think that if you didn't take Toronto you would stay off the game. I am looking for all logical answers. Gl on all your plays today. Please reply! Will be back later to check it out. Thanks

Colon handled Toronto handily in the last time out. Colon is rarely a dog of this number and for all the hitting that Toronto can do, I think the Sox win the match-up of the bullpen. If you?ve been on Toronto since they started this streak, I wouldn?t get off the wagon, but this isn?t a place to start to jump on, either.

And they can't move him down in the order because he'll pout. I've heard their thinking about giving him some work at first base this week to gear him up for interleague. :shrug:

I think Manuel should be gone, but his job isn't ez

Sox

Konerko has not hit since last years all star break he is now down to 213. Valentine struggling in the field and at the plate. Carlos Lee is not a major league outfielder. After this road trip Manuel will be fired the team has no fire. No centerfielder. Bad trades that cost the Sox Fogg, Wells and Biddle. Gordon and Koch have been sporadic. Team plays station to station ball. Minnesota will win this division by 15 games at least. Sometimes a teams defense isn't all about errors. Its plays they don't make it just like when they played Minnesota in the dome they had great pitching but the defense let them down. Look for the Sox to trade Colon pretty soon as he will not resign with the Sox. Colon did pitch well the last time out but he did give up 9 hits in his last start against them. This team is the most overrated team in baseball. Their starting pitching is not that bad but they give up too many extra outs.
