The outlook on Friday’s White Sox-Blue Jays matchup has flipped with Clay Buchholz being scratched. Toronto’s losing eight of its last nine will tempt bettors to the underdog White Sox. Instead, expect the Blue Jays to snap out of their offensive slump (one run in three games). Grab Toronto.

My data sees the Blue Jays toppling the White Sox more than two-thirds of the time in their Friday series opener, making Toronto a value position as a short favorite. Clay Buchholz has struggled in his past few starts for Toronto, but he should have some success against a Chicago lineup that ranks near the bottom of the AL in most offensive categories.
