Chicago White Sox over Chicago Cubs: Sox are 17-12 vs. Lh on the year. Cubs are 3-7 in their last 10 and continue to struggle especially on the road where they are only 17-26. We will rate the bullpens and offenses equal for this one. I will rate the starting pitching a med adv for Sox. Sox are 12-4 when Giolito starts. He got off to a torrid start and negative regression has hit however not to the degree of where this line sits. Giolito still has a 191 BAA 115K 33BB and only given up 9HR in 96.0 inngs of work. This game with Lester is a rematch from 06/19 when we lost that bet and Cubs won 7-3 at home. Giolito had trouble in the forst inng of that game and never recovered. Lester has improved from a slow start but still has given up 15HR and a 271 BAA. I have this game at pick-em giving us excellent value.
