Chicago White Sox at Toronto Blue Jays (2026-07-17). Anthony Kay vs Spencer Miles at Rogers Centre.
Starters — Anthony Kay has a 4.23 ERA and 1.38 WHIP over 89.1 innings, with 7.15 K/9, 3.53 BB/9, and 1.21 HR/9. His last three starts were 5.1 innings with 2 earned runs, 4 innings with 1 earned run, and 3.2 innings with 3 earned runs. The trend points down, and the underlying profile shows moderate strikeout ability with some traffic from walks and home runs. Spencer Miles has a 2.85 ERA and 1.10 WHIP across 60 innings, with 8.55 K/9, 2.85 BB/9, and 0.60 HR/9. His last three starts were 2 innings with 0 earned runs, 4 innings with 2 earned runs, and 3 innings with 0 earned runs. The trend points up, supported by stronger run prevention, better control, and much lower home run damage.
Teams — Chicago enters with a .732 OPS, 454 runs scored, a 4.12 team ERA, and a 1.32 WHIP. The White Sox are 5-5 over their last 10 games, and their offensive edge in OPS and total runs stands out more than their pitching. Toronto has a .690 OPS, 392 runs scored, a 4.13 team ERA, and a 1.31 WHIP. The Blue Jays are also 5-5 in their last 10, and their team-level pitching numbers are nearly identical to Chicago’s, so the main statistical gap here is Toronto’s weaker season-long production at the plate.
