Free Betting Pick: Chicago White Sox -125
The difference in this mashup will be the pitching of Lucas Giolito. With an earned run average of only 2.57, he should be able to hold down a Chicago Cubs lineup that is batting .246 as a team this season. If the White Sox are able to get into the bullpen of their crosstown rivals, the north siders have an earned run average as a team of 4.33 and have walked 72 batters which is why we see the White Sox coming away with a victory at Wrigley. Final Score Prediction: White Sox win 5-3.
