Chicago Cubs vs Chicago White Sox Predictions 7/25/2023

Chicago Cubs vs. Chicago White Sox. The MLB pick for this game is the Chicago Cubs. After winning each of their previous three games, the Cubs enter this showdown as the hotter club.
The White Sox, who are currently 20 games below.500 and are returning home after a 3-6 road trip, will probably trade away some senior players to improve their squad.
Hendricks, the Cubs’ starting pitcher, lacks power but has a propensity to keep the ball on the ground, which could be advantageous against a White Sox team that has grown to rely on deep balls to score runs.
On the other hand, the Cubs have a more contact-oriented style of play and a better defense than their crosstown rivals. Kopech, the White Sox starter, has a season ERA above six and has had control issues the entire time.
Expect the Cubs to take advantage of his issues and win the series’ first game. The Chicago Cubs will win by a predicted score of 7-3.
