This is the 6th meeting of the season between the Blue Jays and the White Sox. The Blue Jays have won 3 of the 5 meetings. Including tonight the 2 teams face each other 2 more times this season.
Prediction: I’m going with the Blue Jays tonight because Hutchison is on the mound. It’s more than likely he won’t have the poor showing again that he had in his last start.
