As a seasoned MLB handicapper, I can confidently assert that streaks play a pivotal role in baseball betting, and today we have a multitude of them in action. The White Sox have been caught in a relentless tailspin, suffering a seven-game losing streak, while the Jays boast a three-game winning streak and victories in five of their last seven contests.

Chicago’s performance this season has been nothing short of dismal, but their away record hits a new low at an appalling 4-10. On the other hand, Toronto has been faring well with a 5-2 home record, with the only two losses occurring when they mustered a meager single run.

The Chisox have managed to score more than three runs just once in their last seven outings, while the Blue Jays have consistently tallied five or more runs in four of their last five games.

The Jays’ impressive 9-6-0 record as the runline has brought their backers a nice return. Additionally, they’ve secured 11 out of their 15 wins by a margin of two or more runs, including a strong run of seven consecutive victories. Toronto indisputably holds the upper hand when it comes to starting pitching, both in terms of current form and historical batter versus pitcher data.
