THE PROFESSOR’S MLB UPPER-DECK BLOWOUT
(MLB) Chi White Sox vs. Chi Cubs,
Money Line: -136.00 Chi White Sox (Away)
Result: Win
It's time for the Windy City Classic as the Chicago White Sox head north to take on the Chicago Cubs in a two-game set. Both teams are coming off wins in their last games. The White Sox won five of the six matchups. The Sox will hand the ball to Michael Kopech for today's start. He allowed two runs on three hits and four walks while striking out three in five innings. In four starts this season, he has posted a 1.42 ERA through 19 innings. The Cubs will counter with Drew Smyly on the mound. In his last outing, he allowed two runs on five hits in 4.2 innings. He has posted a 2.79 ERA in 19.1 innings this season.

The White Sox are struggling at the plate and are dealing with injuries to key players. Kopech has been dominant at times on the mound but doesn't go long into games. The Sox pen hasn't been great but I like the Sox to do enough to pull away with a win.

Play on the Chicago White Sox. This is a 6* play.
