I can’t see the Cubs getting swept by their intra-city rivals in the Chicago White Sox Sunday. The starting pitching match-up clearly favors the North Siders in this one and I’ll take advantage. Ted Lilly sports a 3.28 ERA and 1.094 WHIP this season, including a 1.59 ERA and 0.882 WHIP in his last 3 starts. He has been a victim of poor run support, but I don’t see that being the case Sunday. The North Siders should be able to get after Gavin Floyd, who is 2-6 with a 6.18 ERA and 1.627 WHIP in 12 starts this season.

Lilly has posted a 5-2 career record in 10 starts vs. the White Sox, and his teams are 8-2 in those 10 starts. The Cubs have now lost 5 straight to the South Siders, so motivation for a win Sunday is at an all-time high in this series. The Cubs are 5-1 in their last 6 games after losing the first 2 games of a series. The White Sox are 3-12 against the money line after allowing 2 runs or less this season. The White Sox are 1-7 in Floyd’s last 8 starts as a road underdog. The South Siders are 1-10 in Floyd’s last 11 road starts with the total set at 7.0-8.5. The North Siders are 5-0 in Lilly’s last 5 starts as a home favorite of -110 to -150. Roll with the Cubs Sunday night.
