George Springer is locked in, and a weak four-seamer from Davis Martin is the pitch to attack.
The Toronto Blue Jays try to bounce back from a 12-4 drubbing on Friday as they host the Chicago White Sox in a virtual pick-em, with Shane Bieber on the mound against Davis Martin.
Toronto’s bats will look to attack Martin’s fastball, and George Springer headlines my card after a hot week.
Read on for my White Sox vs. Blue Jays predictions and MLB picks for this Saturday, July 18 matchup.
White Sox vs Blue Jays predictions
White Sox vs Blue Jays best bet: George Springer Over 1.5 total bases (+145)
Big George is chugging along.
George Springer ran into one on Friday, cashing our home run prop, but since I don’t believe lightning strikes twice, I’ll play his total bases prop on Saturday against Davis Martin and the Chicago White Sox.
Martin carved up the Toronto Blue Jays earlier this year, tossing six shutout innings, but he isn’t unbreakable.
Martin’s four-seam fastball grades out at a -3 run value, per Baseball Savant, and Springer owns a +3 run value against the same pitch, slugging .484.
That’s the matchup edge I want.
I’d play Springer’s total bases until +125 today.
COVERS INTEL: Springer has at least one hit in six of his last seven games, including three extra-base knocks during that span.
White Sox vs Blue Jays same-game parlay (SGP)
For the same-game parlay, I’m chasing +300 and betting on offense. Friday’s game sailed over the total, and with Shane Bieber and his 7.64 ERA still searching for his old form, I like over 8 total runs again.
I’ll add the Blue Jays moneyline as a live home play in a near-pick’em, and cap it with Kazuma Okamoto Over 0.5 hits, since Toronto’s best bat should have no trouble reaching base against Martin’s shaky four-seamer.

White Sox vs Blue Jays home run pick: Kazuma Okamoto (+370)
Kazuma Okamoto is the King of Sting in this Blue Jays lineup with 22 home runs, and he happens to mash four-seam fastballs to a .588 slugging mark with a +12 run value, right in line with Martin’s biggest weakness.
I also love the value here. Okamoto goes on torrid homer stretches, and the books shorten his line during those runs, so a +370 price feels generous.
I’ll play this until +325 and keep it to a quarter unit.
