The Toronto Blue Jays and the Chicago White Sox will both be gunning for a victory on Monday when they meet at Guaranteed Rate Field.
The Blue Jays will trot Marco Estrada out to the mound in this one. Right hander Estrada has a 4-7 record and a 5.43 ERA this season.
Estrada’s opponent in this one will be James Shields. The White Sox right hander has a 5.86 ERA to go along with a 2-3 record this season.
Estrada is looking for his first win since May 27 and completed six innings just once in his last 10 outings. The California native was solid against Oakland on Wednesday but struggled a bit with his control and walked four while allowing two runs and three hits in five innings. Estrada is seeing Chicago for the first time this season and faced the White Sox once in 2016, taking the loss after yielding three runs in 6 2/3 innings at home on April 27.
Shields is 0-2 in four starts this month and failed to log a quality start in any of those turns while yielding a total of 21 runs – 19 earned – in 19 innings. The 35-year-old has surrendered a total of 43 homers in 165 innings since joining Chicago in a trade from San Diego last season. Shields yielded one home run in a no-decision at Toronto on June 18 while being charged with three runs over 5 2/3 innings.
The Chicago White Sox continue to remake their roster in hopes of competing in the near future and enter trade deadline day with few veterans remaining on the roster. The Toronto Blue Jays, who visit the White Sox for the opener of a three-game series on Monday, expected to contend this season but instead enter deadline day in last place in the American League East.
The Blue Jays are close enough to wild-card contention that they are not big sellers in advance of the deadline, and the team earned a momentum-swinging win on Sunday when Steve Pearce capped a seven-run rally in the ninth inning by belting his second walk-off grand slam of the week in an 11-10 over the Los Angeles Angels. “You’ve got to go up there and attack that at-bat,” Pearce told reporters. “I went up there and just looked for my pitch. (Angels closer Bud Norris) missed a couple pitches pretty bad early, so I was able to sit on my pitch and unload on it.” The White Sox own the worst record in the AL at 40-62 but are set up well for the future after trades in the last year sent away players like Chris Sale, Adam Eaton, Jose Quintana, Melky Cabrera, Todd Frazier and David Robertson and brought back top prospects. Chicago will send one of its last remaining veterans to the mound on Monday, when James Shields opposes Blue Jays righty Marco Estrada.
Chicago won its last outing, a 3-1 result against the Indians on July 30. Bettors who backed the White Sox at 132 on the moneyline won on the day, and the total score (4) sent UNDER bettors to the payout window.
Toronto won its last outing, a 11-10 result against the Angels on July 30. Bettors who backed the Blue Jays at -113 on the moneyline won on the day, and the total score (21) sent OVER bettors to the payout window.
