It's Crosstown, which means baseball halves of the cities will collide. This weekend the Cubs will head south on the red line to play the White Sox.
As it stands right now, the White Sox can clinch the Crosstown cup with a single win after sweeping the series at Wrigley Field earlier in August.
On Friday, it'll be a pitcher showdown between Dallas Keuchel and Keegan Thompson. Lance Lynn will take the bump on Saturday, followed by Dylan Cease on Sunday. For the Cubs, Alec Mills appears to be slated for Saturday followed by Kyle Hendricks on Sunday.
