Free MLB Pick
There is no denying that the Cubs are on fire winners of seven consecutive games and 13 of their last 14 matches. However, their meet cross town rival White Sox who are a mini roll winning three straight and did take two of three at Wrigley earlier this season. Neither of today’s pitchers are in top form with the Cub’s Kyle Hendricks recording just one Q start in his last five outings and likewise for Jeff Samardzija who also has been blown up for 16 runs in his last two starts. Historical batter vs. pitcher stats point to the under but the current form of the pitchers and the offenses have us going the other way.
