The Cubs are only 2-8 on the Money Line in their last 10 games which means they are now six games below .500 and 10 games behind in the Wild Card race. The White Sox on the other hand have 63 wins and a nine game lead in the A.L. Central.
PointsBet opened up this game with the White Sox as -174 road favorites. This season, the White Sox are 25-26 on the road Money Line but are 20-14 on the Money Line as road favorites. The Cubs have played very well at home this season as they have 31 home wins. They are also 7-4 at home with Kyle Hendricks on the mound, making them well worth the risk today at +150, but I will play the run line as my official bet.
EDGE: Cubs +1.5 (-115)
