The Blue Jays are playing below the talent they have on the roster. However, one thing the Blue Jays have going for them is the fact the team has managed to win in some tight games and does not rely on a single player to get the work done. The downside is Stroman heading to the mound will not help the Blue Jays and he will struggle against the better hitting White Sox team. Final Score, Chicago White Sox win 4-2.
