White Sox vs Cubs predictions
Looking at the Chicago White Sox lineup heading into Wrigley, there are a few names that might surprise you with their potential impact. Lenyn Sosa has quietly been one of the more reliable bats in the order, and I wouldn’t be shocked to see him add another multi-hit game to his resume—his patient approach means he could easily reach base a couple of times and be a catalyst in the lineup. Luis Robert’s performance will be worth watching too; if he can get on base and use his speed, the White Sox might finally put some pressure on the basepaths. And don’t sleep on Tim Elko, a guy who’s shown flashes of pop and has the ability to deliver with runners in scoring position—could this be one of those nights he breaks through?
Swinging over to the other side of the diamond, these Chicago Cubs are rolling for a reason, and you can see why when you glance at the guys in their lineup. All eyes are on Pete Crow-Armstrong after his four-hit outburst, and it’d be no surprise if he rides that hot streak into tonight for an extra-base knock or two. Seiya Suzuki’s been a force in the heart of the order all year, so I’m expecting him to stay locked in and maybe drive in a couple more runs. And keep an eye on Michael Busch—he’s quietly getting on base, and tonight feels like the kind of matchup where he could do some real damage, especially with the Cubs’ offense firing on all cylinders.
Honestly, after sizing up these squads, it feels like the Cubs just have too much firepower, especially at home. Their lineup is getting on base, swiping bags, and finding ways to score at the top of the league, while the White Sox are still searching for answers at the plate. With Matthew Boyd on the mound facing a White Sox lineup struggling to find rhythm, it’s tough not to lean toward the Cubs grabbing another win in this crosstown rivalry. What do you think—can the South Siders pull off an upset at Wrigley, or is it all Cubbies tonight?
