Blue Jays, White Sox Open Series in Chicago

CHICAGO (Interstat) — The Toronto Blue Jays, off to a strong start, will visit the struggling Chicago White Sox to open a three-game series at Guaranteed Rate Field on Friday, April 3, 2026.

First pitch is scheduled for the evening.

The Blue Jays (4-2) enter having won four of their last five, though they are coming off a 2-1 loss to Colorado on Wednesday in which starter Kevin Gausman took a hard-luck defeat. Gausman, Friday’s probable starter, was dominant in that outing, allowing two hits and no earned runs while striking out 10 over six innings. In two starts this season, he has a 0.75 ERA with 21 strikeouts in 12 innings.

Conversely, the White Sox (1-5) have lost five of six and are reeling from a 10-0 loss in Miami on Wednesday. Right-hander Lucas Sims, who pitched two scoreless innings of relief in that game, is a player to watch out of the bullpen for Chicago.

Toronto’s early success has been buoyed by its pitching, while the White Sox have been outscored 52-21 over their last five games, all on the road.

According to Interstat’s game simulator, the Blue Jays are projected to win 7-3. Betting markets list Toronto as a -1.5 run favorite with an over/under of 7.5 total runs.

Following this series, the Blue Jays return home to face the Los Angeles Dodgers for three games beginning Monday. The White Sox will host the Baltimore Orioles for three games starting Monday before embarking on a road trip.
