Rotation # 980
Cubs -1.5 runs over White Sox +110 (loss)
Gausman/Hudson
The Cubs won in dramatic fashion last night, tying the game in the ninth and walking it off in extra innings. The wind will be blowing out at Wrigley tonight, which is promising for a Cubs team that is the best in baseball against left-handed pitching in slugging percentage and might be able to get a few early runs, much like they did last night against setup man Bryan Hudson. Erick Fedde will take over for Hudson, but he is coming off a rough start and does not have a lot of strikeout power this season. The money line is high. We will take the run line. Take the Cubs -1.5 runs +110.
