Blue Jays vs White Sox: Starting Lineup - Opening Game Preview

The white hot Blue Jays have won eight straight and 11 of 13. The American League East leaders aim to keep rolling and get revenge on a White Sox team that handed Toronto its most recent series defeat two weeks ago.

Chicago has a 30-60 record overall and a 19-24 record in home games. The White Sox have gone 18-4 in games when they scored five or more runs.

Toronto has a 52-38 record overall and a 20-22 record in road games. The Blue Jays have the third-best team on-base percentage in the majors at .329.

The teams play Monday for the fourth time this season.

Jose Berrios (4-3, 3.64) is on the bump for the Blue Jays today. A longtime nemesis of the White Sox during his five-plus seasons with the Minnesota Twins, Berrios continued his dominance against Chicago on June 21, allowing two hits and an unearned run over 7 2/3 innings of a game Toronto won 7-1.

Berrios delivered seven shutout innings to defeat the Boston Red Sox in his next start but was roughed a no-decision against the New York Yankees. He allowed six runs and nine hits in 4 1/3 innings.

Berrios is 15-6 with a 3.01 ERA in 26 career starts versus the White Sox with 162 strikeouts over 161 1/3 innings.

Sean Burke (4-7, 4.03 ERA) will get the call for the White Sox on Monday as Chicago aims for another series win versus the Blue Jays. The White Sox won two of three in Toronto from June 20-22.

Burke has been especially sharp over his past three starts. Although he has just one victory to show for it, the rookie has scattered five runs, two earned and 19 strikeouts in 16 1/3 innings during that span.

In his last outing he took a no-decision against the Dodgers, spacing one run and six hits in six innings.

Chase Meidroth has six doubles and two home runs for the White Sox. Lenyn Sosa is 11 for 36 with two doubles and three home runs over the past 10 games.

Bo Bichette has 20 doubles, a triple and 12 home runs for the Blue Jays. George Springer is 16 for 39 with five home runs over the past 10 games.
