Cubs vs White Sox Crosstown Clash Pick
North Side momentum primed to overrun struggling South Siders

Cubs (60-43) VS White Sox (38-66)
July 27, 2025 | 2:10 p.m. ET | Guaranteed Rate Field, Chicago


The Cubs enter this crosstown matchup with momentum on their side, having strung together several wins behind strong starting pitching and timely offense. That edge becomes more apparent against a White Sox squad that’s struggled to generate consistent run support and is working through key absences. The disparity in bullpen depth and lineup stability tips the scales toward the North Siders, especially as the playoff race intensifies and every win starts to carry more weight.
Even with the rivalry stakes and a bit of unpredictability baked in, the Cubs’ sharper form and more reliable arms give them the edge. Backing them on the moneyline feels justified, even at a less-than-ideal price.

The Cubs enter this rivalry tilt on a strong run, having strung together consistent wins thanks in part to a reinvigorated lineup and more stable bullpen work. While the White Sox can still flash power from the heart of their order, they're hindered by key injuries and unreliable relief pitching. Both starters carry middling metrics into the matchup, and weather conditions hint at added lift to balls hit in the air—an extra variable working in the over’s favor.
With both teams trending in opposite directions and postseason pressure creeping into every at-bat for the Cubs, the combination of heat, wind, and bullpen volatility makes a higher-scoring game feel likely. The over looks like a sharp pick in this city series clash.

The Cubs enter this crosstown clash with the wind at their backs, having built steady momentum while the White Sox continue to falter. Chicago’s NL squad has shown more lineup consistency and cleaner bullpen execution, while their South Side counterparts have battled both injuries and inefficiency, especially at the plate. Even with a younger starter on the mound, the Cubs’ ability to control tempo and capitalize late has translated well over the past week.
The White Sox, by contrast, remain short on offensive punch and relief depth, and that puts added pressure on their starter to work deep—an ask that hasn’t often paid off. With both teams well past the season’s midpoint and the Cubs hunting playoff seeding, the run-line leans toward the more complete club. Recent form and health tilt the odds enough to justify the play.
