Chicago Cubs (-1.5, -120) over White Sox
This Cubs game should be a blowout. This is the continuation of this mid-week rivalry series. I can't see a scenario where the Cubs don't take at least two of the final three games after losing the opener in Wrigley. Jon Lester gets the call for this one, and he has been excellent in his last two outings, giving up just six hits and three runs in 15 innings while striking out 16 and walking just one. The White Sox will counter with Piñata Pelfrey. He has lost six of his last eight starts, has a 4.50 ERA on the season, and he's given up 15 runs in his last 18 innings of work. The Cubs are 9-4 in their last 13 interleague road games, and the White Sox are 6-16 in their last 22 against a team above .500. The favorite has won seven of nine in this series, and I see the Cubs taking this one big.
