Free MLB Pick
R.A. Dickey is o-3 in his last three starts, but he pitched well in two getting the Q start. His stat line against the White Sox is less than desirable getting charged with 17 runs on 23 hits in 16 innings in his last three against Chicago. Against the current roster he has okay numbers holding the White Sox batters to a .235 BA and .310 OBP in 115 at bats. Jeff Samardzija has dominated the Jays in two lifetime starts pitching a combined 14 innings allowing just one run.
