This is a hometown rivalry series where the Cubs have the edge in the series, winning the last 5 out of six against the White Sox. Taillon has been serviceable for the Cubs with an ERA of 3.25, and the Cubs are hitting better on the road so they should win this game as their bullpen is much better in the last month and should close out the game for them. Crochet has been the White Sox best pitcher and he might keep them in the game for the first half, but they will struggle on offense as all their hitting metrics sit at or near the bottom of the league. Their bullpen average also sits at 11.35 which is the worst right now in the league, and they just went on one of the longest losing streaks in the league, which says everything about the ability of this team to perform.

Best bet: take the Chicago Cubs on the moneyline (ML).
