The White Sox are 9-26 and have lost six in a row as they don't seem to be making any headway in their rebuilding process. They lost to the Cubs on Friday 11-2 as Wilson Contreras hit a grand slam, a solo homer and two doubles for a total of seven RBI. The Cubs are 12-6 at home and they have won the last four meetings and six of the last seven. Jon Lester has allowed a total of just five earned runs his last four starts, including two runs on six hits in 5 1/3 innings through two rain delays at St. Louis on Sunday. James Shields actually has pitched better than expected this season, which isn't saying much, but the White Sox still have lost his last five starts. The Cubs have gone UNDER seven of their last nine after a win and the Sox have stayed UNDER four of Shields' last five starts. The Cubs have gone UNDER eight of their last 10 versus right-handed starters and five of their last six home games versus righties. Play the Cubs and UNDER.
