In this Cubs vs White Sox Prediction, the Cubs are coming as -150 road favorites. Cubs managed to win the Braves yesterday and avoid the sweep but are facing a red-hot White Sox team that has won five straight and will be playing its third straight series at home, while the Cubs their third straight on the road. I don’t trust Cabrera, as he has been giving up 3+ runs consistently, so I like the value with the home dog in this spot. Take the White Sox on the moneyline for plus money.
