I'm going with the hitting conditions and wind blowing out at Wrigley today to carry these teams past nine runs. Prior to the trade deadline this number would have probably been closer to 10.5, but with the Cubs selling off their bats we only need to get to nine. The White Sox offense is looking for a spot to make a statement after a poor display against the Royals this week, and that could easily come at the expense of the Cubs. The White Sox still have one of the best offenses in the American League. I've done well taking advantage of good hitting conditions, and this is a play on that. Go Over.

I've been fading the Cubs all week, and many times I probably will not when Kyle Hendricks is on the mound, especially at home, but man that lineup looks laughable today behind Hendricks with Willson Contreras getting the game off and Jason Heyward (not that he's any good) landing on the injured list. I don't see how the Cubs score much against the Sox's Lance Lynn (10-3, 2.07). The Sox do lose the DH but are keeping Eloy Jimenez's bat in the lineup by playing him (dangerously) in left field. The wind is blowing out pretty hard at Wrigley, and Hendricks does give up a lot of homers. Lynn does not.
