White Sox vs. Blue Jays Prediction, Winner Payout, Over/Under – Sunday, July 19

The White Sox will start SP Sean Burke (3.80 xFIP in 105.2 IP, 19 appearances) on Sunday. It’s a breakout year for him, as it’s his first full season with a sub-4.00 ERA, and his 6 wins have already surpassed his prior career high.

Part of the reason for his improvement is the vertical drop of his four-seamer, going from a +1.1 vs. comparable movement to +1.8. As a result, hitters went from a .325 wOBA against the pitch last year to a .281 wOBA.

The White Sox were one of the best stories of the first half of the season. They came into this year with three consecutive seasons of 100+ losses, and now they are in first place in the American League Central.

They've improved in every aspect of the game, but what has made them a contender is their surge in offensive power. Chicago has moved from 24th in the league with a .393 xSLG to fourth at .414.

The Blue Jays will counter with SP Trey Yesavage (4.95 xFIP in 75 IP, 14 starts). Yesavage was a September call-up last season, and then the Blue Jays kept him on the roster for their run to the World Series. He pitched very well in the postseason, going 3-1 with a 3.58 ERA and 1.04 WHIP.

Unfortunately, Yesavage landed on the IL during spring training with right shoulder impingement but came back in late April and posted a 3.11 xERA over his first 13 starts.

His last outing was doomed from the jump, however, as he walked the first three batters and threw just 1 strike in his first 13 pitches. It ended up being the worst start of his career, as he allowed 4 earned runs and a brutal 7 walks in just 1.2 innings.

The Blue Jays are the reigning AL champs, yet now there’s a chance they don’t even make the playoffs. The only significant departure from the team was SS/3B Bo Bichette, so why such a hard regression? Power, the same thing the White Sox are providing.

Last year, the Toronto offense produced a ton of pop with its .429 xSLG that ranked sixth. This year, the team is second-to-last with a .393 xSLG. 

1B Vladimir Guerrero Jr. has had previous seasons with over a .300 BA and 30+ home runs, but his current .262 BA ties a career low and he has only 6 homers. DH George Springer has also regressed from a .291 xBA, .571 xSLG, and .408 wOBA in 2025 to respective marks of .226, .377, and .304 in 2026.

The good news is the Jays are still in Wild Card contention and are only 3.5 games out of the final spot.
