The Toronto Blue Jays are sizeable favorites in Game 2 of this doubleheader mainly because they are sending a Major League pitcher to the mound, albeit a pretty average one in Yusei Kikuchi. But he has the advantage of having multiple big-league seasons under his belt.
That’s not something Jesse Scholtens can say. Scholtens is a 29-year-old rookie who has made a handful of long relief appearances and one career start. 
Unfortunately, the second game of doubleheaders can be a little unpredictable. Laying a price north of -150 with Kikuchi, who has been solid at times this season but is also good for the occasional implosion, is risky. His 21 home runs allowed ranks second only to Lance Lynn of the White Sox . So, for a game that could have many twists and turns when you consider all the lineup changes and fatigue of a doubleheader, we may as well look at a nice plus-money play here. For that, I’m looking at the White Sox to score first. 
The Blue Jays are obviously the favorites to score first, as they’ll hit first and have as solid of a 1-2-3 in baseball as there is in George Springer, Bo Bichette, and, geez. It’s been Brandon Belt, not Vladimir Guerrero Jr. lately, hasn’t it? 
But much has been made of the Blue Jays’ struggles to cash in runners. They rank 25th in batting average with runners in scoring position. On top of that, Toronto also ranks 19th in the MLB in first-inning scoring when on the road this season.
And Scholten's numbers have been solid. While he doesn’t strike out a lot of guys, he does a good job of creating soft contact, to the point where the right-hander has got a 3.41 expected ERA and is limiting opponents to a .230 expected batting average over 27 1/3 MLB innings this year. And he has the advantage of the Blue Jays never seeing him before.
So, if the White Sox can get through a scoreless top of the first, I like their chances to put the first run on the board here. Mostly because Luis Robert Jr. has gone nuclear lately.
Robert’s 25 home runs are third in the MLB, and he has been on fire since the start of June. Over his last 27 games, he is hitting .327 with a 1.137 OPS and 12 dingers. He is also crushing southpaws for a .358 average and a 1.151 OPS.
Overall, the White Sox have fared a little better against lefties, ranking 17th in wRC+, and Kikuchi ranks in the 12th percentile in opponent expected slugging percentage. Robert can power the home team to an early lead here. My best bet: White Sox to score first (+162 at SIA) Blue Jays vs White Sox same-game parlay White Sox to score first Run scored in bottom of first inning Blue Jays moneyline With this being the second game of a doubleheader, there aren’t too many fun options available for a same-game...
