This will be the first of the 6 scheduled meetings between the crosstown rivals this season. Since 1997, the Chicago White Sox lead the season series over the Cubs 58-54. The <strong>Cubs<\/strong> won three of the 4 games played between the clubs last season.<\/p>\n<p>The <strong>White<\/strong> <strong>Sox<\/strong> enter this series having lost their last 5 games. The White Sox find themselves in last place in the AL Central with a 9-25 record. The <strong>Cubs<\/strong> just completed a three game sweep of the Miami Marlins and have some momentum. The Cubs are 19-15 on the season and are just 1 game out of 1st place in the NL Central. <span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><strong><em><a href=\"https:\/\/offshoresportsbooks.com\/review\/mybookie\/\">The Chicago Cubs are -220 over the Chicago White Sox on Friday in Major League Baseball action.<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"white-sox-in-a-rebuild\">W<strong>hite Sox In A Rebuild<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The <strong>Chicago White Sox<\/strong> are in rebuilding mode, and the process is going slower than expected. <a href=\"https:\/\/dev.offshoresportsbooks.com\/picks\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Manager Rick Renteria is tasked with trying to break in young talent while also trying to compete at the big league level<\/a>. So far in 2018, this hasn\u2019t gone well. The White Sox offense is led by Matt Davidson. The designated hitter has hit 9 home runs and driving in 19 RBI\u2019s for the White Sox.<\/p>\n<p>Young right hander, <strong>Carson Fulmer<\/strong> will start for the White Sox in game 1 of this series. Fulmer is 2-2 on the season, but sports a lofty 5.02 ERA. Fulmer expects to be a mainstay in the White Sox rotation for years to come. He will be faced with the tough task of trying to shut down the Cubs potentially potent lineup.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"cubs-need-consistent-offense\"><strong>Cubs Need Consistent Offense<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Speaking of the <strong>Cubs<\/strong> offense, it\u2019s been a year of inconsistency for Joe Maddon\u2019s ballclub. They are ranked 8th in the Major Leagues in runs scored, but just went through a rough scoring drought. Cubs\u2019 leader, <strong>Anthony<\/strong> <strong>Rizzo<\/strong> appears to be breaking out of his slow start. Rizzo had 5 RBI\u2019s in the previous game and is finally over the .200 mark for the year.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tyler Chatwood<\/strong> will start game 1 for the Cubs. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mlb.com\/cubs\/news\/cubs-sign-tyler-chatwood-to-three-year-deal\/c-263069166\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Chatwood signed with the Cubs this offseason to help bolster their <\/a>rotation, but has been shaky at times. Control has been a major issue for Chatwood this season and he has allowed 27 walks in just 32.2 innings of work. If Chatwood can find the strike zone, he will give the Cubs a great chance to win the game.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"cubs-take-game-1\"><strong>Cubs Take Game 1<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The records or current standings never matter when these two teams square off, and <strong>Wrigley Field<\/strong> will be packed with fans from both sides. The Cubs are clearly the better team, but the <strong>White<\/strong> <strong>Sox<\/strong> would love to knock off their crosstown rival. This rivalry should get more intense as the White Sox continue to promote young talent.<\/p>\n<p>If Chatwood is able to give the Cubs a quality start, the offense and the bullpen will do the rest. The <strong>Cubs<\/strong>\u2019 bats seem to be heating up as the weather gets warmer. Anthony Rizzo will stay hot and lead the Cubs offense to a big day.\u00a0<strong><em><a href=\"https:\/\/offshoresportsbooks.com\/review\/mybookie\/\">Bet the Chicago Cubs -220 over the Chicago White Sox on Friday.<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><strong><em><a href=\"https:\/\/offshoresportsbooks.com\/review\/mybookie\/\">Bet on Major League Baseball at MyBookie<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Chicago Cubs and Chicago White Sox will start the Crosstown Rivalry on Friday from Wrigley FIeld.","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":2791,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3035],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2788","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-archive"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v20.0 -
