Rotation # 962
Cubs -1.5 runs over White Sox -130 (win)
Boyd/Burke
The Cubs took care of business at home last night behind gusty winds blowing out at Wrigley. We will have similar weather this afternoon, so I expect the Cubs to keep up their hot hitting against right-handed pitchers as they face the struggling Sean Burke. Burke’s walks have been high, which could lead to the Cubs putting up a few crooked run innings. The White Sox are not good against left-handed pitching and should struggle against Matthew Boyd. The moneyline is too high. Let’s go with the run line. Take the Cubs -1.5 runs -130.
