The Chicago Cubs have impressive overall numbers, but have been money-burners lately, on an 8-13 run. Twelve of those 13 defeats were as chalk and the Cubs are 3-9 in their last 12 road games. This is the end of a five-game road trip and starter Kyle Hendricks is great at home (1.36 ERA), but far less so on the road (3.63 ERA), where he has a 2-5 record. The Chicago White Sox have recorded three straight walk-off wins as part of a 9-2 run against a team with a winning percentage above .600. The Cubs are 4-9 against a right-handed starter and face veteran James Shields, who has recorded five straight quality starts, posting a 2.10 ERA over that span. This is the sixth straight home game for the surging White Sox, so grab the home dog again and take the White Sox.
