Chicago at Chicago

On May 25 the White Sox stood at 24-20 and looked to be a contender for at least a wild card spot. How things have changed. They have since been the worst team in baseball with a 5-21 record since, and have been outscored 145-92! It has been a complete collapse. The pitching, bullpen and hitting have all failed. They have managed just two runs in this series against the Cubs. Jose Contreras who has allowed 22 earned runs in 27 innings covering his last five starts will try to stop the bleeding. The Cubs are playing their best baseball of the season as they are now 12-7 in their last 19 games. Sean Marshall has been great for the Cubs as he has allowed just eight earned runs in his last five starts. The White Sox possess the worst record against LHP in baseball at 5-13. The last 10 times a LHP has started vs. the White Sox they have only one win to show for it. Look for the Cubs to get the sweep today.
