The Jays hit the road and look for a fresh start after getting pantsed by the Red Sox over the weekend. While Giolito has been solid for the White Sox, Covers_Caley thinks the Jays could — and should — give him trouble tonight.

Then he hit a bit of a slump: A three-game stretch where his ERA was an unsightly 11.57 and opponents were hitting over .400 against him. But he bounced back again, shutting out the San Francisco Giants over six innings on just three hits while setting a career-high with 12 strikeouts. The Pale Hose have not been good. A 37-49 record in the Central might be comparable to what the Oakland A’s going through. Speaking of that, the White Sox are coming off a series loss to those lowly A’s and have looked, well, ghostly pale at the plate this season, particularly against right-handers. Chicago ranks 27th in OPS and 25th in wRC+ when facing right-handed pitchers this season.
However, Giolito’s matchup against the Blue Jays could be a little more daunting. Despite Toronto’s noted struggles to hit with runners in scoring position, overall it's the more consistent of these teams when it comes to hitting against righties, ranking seventh in OPS and fifth in wRC+.
