A pair of American League teams open up a series on the diamond north of the border in search of a victory. The Chicago White Sox are on the road as they kick off a three-game series with the Toronto Blue Jays Monday night. Chicago finished a three-game series on the road against Tampa Bay hoping to avoid a sweep: they fell 4-3 in 10 innings Saturday in the middle game of the set. Toronto played the rubber game of their three-game set against the Yankees Sunday afternoon: they fell 3-2 in the middle game of the series Saturday afternoon. Last season, Toronto won the season series 4-2 though the White Sox took two of three at home in the most recent series June 20-22, 2022.
