Manoah is also due for some regression (his expected ERA is nearly a full run higher than his sparkling 1.77 mark), but there's a lot in his profile that suggests he's a budding ace. This game profiles as the perfect time for Cueto's 2.41 ERA to regress closer to his expected mark of 3.70.

His 17.9% strikeout rate is a far cry even from last year's mark, and his whiff rate is among the worst in baseball.

287 opponent expected batting average ranks in the 16th percentile, thanks mostly to his obsession with throwing his slider (24.8% usage) and changeup (13.1% usage), both of which hitters are crushing. Cueto has managed to suppress runs thus far this season despite some truly horrendous peripheral statistics. The 15-year veteran Cueto is far removed from his days of finishing as a Cy Young contender, but he still has a few tricks up his sleeve. The total opened at 8.5 and remains there following a brief spell of DraftKings Sportsbook offering an Over/Under of 8. Those looking to back the underdogs can bet on the White Sox at +175 with Caesars Sportsbook. Toronto is getting that percentage of the handle on 84% of the tickets, which shows some sharp action on the Blue Jays. The Blue Jays opened as -200 favorites and now sit around -190 despite 93% of the cash coming in on the home team.

Wednesday's series finale will serve as a test of Toronto's ability to win the games it really should - and needs - as the season progresses. However, despite the contrast in their recent play and overall record, both teams sit five games back in second place in their respective divisions. Third baseman Yoan Moncada is also sidelined with a quad issue, though he appeared as a pinch-hitter Wednesday. Outfielder Eloy Jimenez remains on the injured list, and star shortstop Tim Anderson joined him there on Monday. Meanwhile, Chicago is somewhat reeling with injuries piling up. Now the Blue Jays send AL Cy Young contender Manoah to the hill to square off against Cueto and the White Sox. Toronto has won seven straight games, during which it's scored at least six runs in six contests and allowed more than five only once. Pitchers beware, the Blue Jays' bats are heating up. On the mound, Toronto sends out Alek Manoah to do battle with Chicago's Johnny Cueto. The Toronto Blue Jays look for the three-game series sweep at home on Thursday against the Chicago White Sox.
