It has been a few years, but there's actually some hype and excitement surrounding the Cubs- White Sox Crosstown Classic series. The Cubs have the third-best record in the majors at 28-16. Their pitchers have compiled the 10th-lowest ERA and fifth-best WHIP. The White Sox have won five in a row and are above .500. They have given up two or fewer runs in three of their last five games. Cubs starter Edward Cabrera has a 3.88 ERA with a 1.32 WHIP. The White Sox are 23rd in hitting. White Sox starter Sean Burke has been even better with a 3.68 ERA and 1.09 WHIP. The Cubs have been in a massive scoring slump. They have scored 2, 1, 2, 0, and 0 runs during their last five games. That is an average of one run per game. Both pitchers should be helped by the weather, as the forecast calls for wind at 13 mph. Take the UNDER.
