The Blue Jays begin a critical stretch of their season when they welcome the White Sox to Rogers Centre on Friday night.

Toronto entered the All-Star break at 45-51 and at the bottom of the AL East, but the Blue Jays remain close enough to the American League wild-card race to make a second-half run. With only 66 games remaining, however, there is little room for another extended slump.

Chicago has been one of the biggest surprises in baseball. The White Sox reached the break at 50-45 and effectively tied with the Guardians atop the AL Central after completing a three-game sweep of the Athletics.

The White Sox are expected to start left-hander Anthony Kay, who is 6-4 with a 4.23 ERA and 71 strikeouts. The Blue Jays will counter with right-hander Spencer Miles, who carries a 4-1 record and 2.85 ERA into the series opener.

Can Toronto begin its second-half push with a win at home, or will Chicago strengthen its position in the AL Central?

Here is everything you need to know about watching Blue Jays vs. White Sox on Friday night.
