Toronto Blue Jays probable pitchers & starting lineups vs. Chicago White Sox, July 5
Coming off of a much needed 4-3 victory over the Chicago White Sox, the Toronto Blue Jays are set to make it two in a row against the struggling Southsiders. At 46-40 this year, the Blue Jays are still stuck in fourth place in the AL East, but they are just two games behind the Yankees and four games behind the Orioles. Winning against scuffling teams like the White Sox is of the utmost importance as the Jays look to inch closer to postseason contention.
Probable starting pitchers
- For the Blue Jays, 29-year-old José Berríos is gearing up to make his 18th start of the 2023 campaign. To the surprise of many, the right-hander has been one of the more reliable arms for the Jays this year, as he is 8-6 with a 3.74 ERA and 110 ERA+ through 101 innings of work. His last start against the White Sox came at the end of April when he threw seven shutout innings with nine strikeouts along the way.
- After facing top trade chip Lucas Giolito in Tuesday night's game, the Blue Jays are now set to take on another premier trade chip on the White Sox in Lance Lynn. Lynn, 36, has struggled mightily to get batters out this year. In 17 outings, he is 5-8 with a 6.47 ERA, 5.11 FIP and 67 ERA+ all while leading the major leagues in earned runs (69) and home runs (22).
