Chicago White Sox (22-22) and Chicago Cubs (26-19) will clash in Game 2 of this three-game series at Guaranteed Rate Field. The White Sox got off to a slow off to a slow start in this series, losing the opener on Friday night. Miguel Vargas, Colson Montgomerey, and Kelenic hit solo homers for the hosts, although this wasn’t enough to save them from the 5-10 drubbing. The hosts will be keen to control the game early and keep their rivals in check.

Chicago Cubs, on the other side of the grass, will be buzzing with confidence after their massive win in the series opener. Carson Kelly rallied the team in the seventh inning to hit a tiebreaking single before driving in four runs. The Cubs looked lively in offense later in the game and racked up a total of 14 hits. They’ll know that replicating another 15-run performance could be a tall order, although their renewed confidence makes them a tough opponent today.

Our Chicago White Sox vs Chicago Cubs Prediction

Bookies expect a tight contest, listing both sides at -115 odds. The Cubs have historically gotten results against the White Sox, going 10-4 in their last 14 meetings. They’re one of the most well-balanced teams in the league, coming into this contest with a .247 batting average. However, that will not count much against the White Sox, who have been hitting well at home. They’ll want to play aggressively against Jameson Taillon, who is 2-2 this season with a 3.94 ERA. Davis Martin of the White Sox is the more reliable pitcher, boasting a 5-1 record with a 1.62 ERA. With both sides finding their offensive touch, we expect another thriller with the hosts edging it this time.
