- Chicago Cubs are 9-4 in their last 13 games
- White Sox starter Luis Castillo is 4-9 with a 4.96 ERA this season
- Chicago Cubs are 7-3 in the previous 10 meetings
- The Over cashed in the 3 previous meetings this season
Head To Head
- Chicago Cubs lead the all-time series 81-80
- Chicago White Sox won 9-8 when the two teams last met on May 17
Chicago White Sox Form

Verdict
The White Sox are the team in better form, but we are backing the Cubs to take this.
The hosts have done a decent job at home this season, and they should enjoy plenty of offensive success against a starter who has been hittable this season.
