Touki Toussaint will get the start for the Chicago White Sox. The 27-year-old has just one win on the season, and that came on July 28th against Cleveland.

In that game, he went five innings, allowing three hits and no runs. Since then, he has thrown 10.1 innings, allowed 11 hits and eight earned runs. Toussaint has been a strike-out pitcher as of late, with nine each of the last two starts.

The White Sox are one of the worst MLB teams on the road in all of Major League Baseball. They have won just 22 of 61 games away from home. 

The White Sox allowed 17 runs in the three-game series sweep at the hands of the Milwaukee Brewers. The White Sox, as a team, have one of the worst team ERAs in baseball, at 4.59.

Chicago’s offense is not much better, with Luis Robert Jr leading the way. He leads in all major categories, with a .271 batting average, 31 home runs, and 65 runs batted in.

The White Sox are 25th in runs scored, with 490 on the season. The last time the Cubs were on the Chicago White Sox schedule, the Cubs won both games.

For the Chicago Cubs, they will send Kyle Hendricks to the mound. Hendricks is 4-6 on the season with a 3.96 earned run average. Hendricks needs just 13.2 innings to reach 100 on the season.

Looking at the MLB player stats, the 33-year-old from Newport Beach has lost his last three outings against the Cardinals, Braves, and Mets. In those three starts, he allowed 21 hits and 11 runs over 16 innings.

The red-hot Cody Bellinger leads the Cubs. The center fielder is leading the team with a .328 batting average. Dansby Swanson has also been sharp in his first season with the team, with 60 runs batted in on the season.

Chicago has moved to 5th in all of Major League Baseball in runs scored, as they are just shy of 600 on the season. The Cubs are hitting .255 on the season and have the 4th best on-base percentage at .332.

If you have been making Chicago Cubs picks on them winning, you have done well lately; the Cubs have won five out of their last eight games.

Kyle Hendricks is going for the Chicago Cubs, and he should be ready for a good outing. The White Sox have all but quit on the season, and Hendricks knows the Cubs need to rack up wins.

We do not expect this to be much of a challenge for Hendricks and the Cubs. They smack the White Sox all over in this game.
