The tale of two Chicago teams is one of two teams heading in opposite directions. The White Sox were swept in their last series and have lost six of their last 10 games. The Cubs have won two of their last three. They are in second place in the NL Central 3.5 games out of first place and only one game out of the last NL Wild Card slot. The White Sox 23-39 on the road this season and will send Touki Toussaint to the mound. He is 1-5 this season with a 4.27 ERA and a 1.40 WHIP. He has given up four runs in each of his last two starts and the Sox have lost four of his last five starts. The Cubs will look to improve on their 32-28 home record by sending Kyle Hendricks to the mound. He is 4-6 this season with a 3.96 ERA 1.12 WHIP. He has a nice outing last time out but had given up 10 runs in the two starts before then. The Cubs are making a strong playoff push while the Sox are looking to play spoiler to their crosstown rivals. The Cubbies lost two games to the Sox in late July where they gave up 17 runs. I like the Cubs' bats against Toussaint and the Sox have a lot of swing and miss and Hendricks should be able to take advantage of a free-swinging Sox team.

Play on Chicago Cubs. This is a 5% play.
