White Sox vs Blue Jays Same-Game Parlay Picks
Leg 1: Andrew Benintendi Over 1.5 HRR
For the front-leg of our SGP for Saturday afternoon, I favor backing White Sox lefty slugger Andrew Benintendi to exceed his 1.5 HRR (Hits + Runs + RBIs) mark.
While only making four appearances on the mound thus far in 2026, the Jays’ Bieber has been abysmal with the 31-year-old having recorded a 7.64 ERA along with a 2.04 WHIP across nearly 18 innings of work.
In addition to the former Cy Young Award-winner having kicked off his 2026 campaign in atrocious fashion, he has been absolutely dominated by Benintendi in the two’s previous encounters versus one-another.
In 21 at-bats (AB) versus Bieber, the White Sox slugger has recorded 11 hits, including four doubles and a homerun.
Given Bieber’s vast struggles on the mound and his terrible prior history when having faced Benintendi, I expect this to be a great spot to target the Sox 32-year-old to thrive at the plate – soaring over his 1.5 HRR mark.
Leg 2: Vladimir Guerrero Jr Over 1.5 TB
For the second leg in our SGP for Saturday afternoon’s American League showdown, I will once again be targeting player-prop betting markets. In this case, I feel great backing Jays’ superstar slugger Vladdy Guerrero Jr to find success versus the Sox’ Martin.
Though Chicago’s right-hander has been largely impressive in 2026 thus far with Martin having recorded a 3.41 ERA – ranking inside the top-25 amongst starters, I heavily favor Vladdy Jr when the two face off on Saturday afternoon.
In four career plate-appearences (PA) versus Martin, the Jays’ 27-year-old has reached safely three-times having recorded a base-knock in the process.
Though Toronto’s premier had a worrisome first half of the season with his having hit just six homers and nearly ranking outside the top-100 with just 41 RBIs on the season, Vladdy is too talented off a hitter to not bounce-back in the latter half of the 2026 season.
I expect Vladdy Jr to finally find his rhythm at the plate to kick off the second half of his 2026 campaign.
That said, I favor backing the Jays’ slugger to exceed his 1.5 Total Base (TB) mark which should round out our Saturday SGP quite nicely.
White Sox vs Blue Jays SGP Picks:
- Andrew Benintendi Over 1.5 HRR
- Vladimir Guerrero Jr Over 1.5 TB
Parlay Odds: +267 (FanDuel)
