Cubs vs. White Sox prediction: MLB odds, picks for Tuesday

The Chicago Schlubs no more! Earlier this season, the Pittsburgh Pirates and Arizona Diamondbacks were at the top of their divisions and proving prognosticators wrong.

While the Bucs and Snakes went from contenders to pretenders, the Cubs have passed both teams in the wild-card chase and are sitting 3 ¹/₂ games back of the Brewers in the NL Central. Schlubs no more! 

The White Sox, their crosstown rivals, pay a visit to Wrigley.

Touki Toussaint has lost two in a row, giving up eight runs in those 10 innings and walking nine.

The Cubbies’ Kyle Hendricks enters off a quality start at Citi Field.

The Mutts scored twice in Kyle’s five frames.

The Blight Sox are 22-39 on the road and Touki has been on the butt-end of too many losses. Play $50 on the Cubs (-175, Caesars). 

Framber comes apart. Jorge Soler, Luis Arraez and Josh Bell hit back-to-back-to-back homers and the Fish finished off the Ratstros 5-1.
