Total: 10.50 | -115.00 Over
Result: Loss
You know with a total this high on a Cubs home game that wind has to factor.
It does.
The forecast is for 15 mph winds blowing out to left field.
The Cubs have an underrated top-10 offense. They are getting big seasons from a number of below-the-radar hitters, including Cody Bellinger, Nico Hoerner and recently acquired Jeimer Candelairo. The Cubs rank fifth in the majors in runs, eighth in OPS and 10th in batting average.
The White Sox have produced at least five runs in six of their last nine games. They are averaging five runs a game during their last five games with four of those matchups coming against pitchers much better than who the Cubs will pitch against them.
The Cubs could start Javier Assad. This could turn into a bullpen game for the Cubs.
Both team's closers pitched last night and could be unavailable.
The White Sox are expected to start Mike Clevinger. The White Sox's bullpen has the seventh-highest ERA in the league.
