The Chicago Cubs are coming off a thrilling extra-innings victory and are in a good spot to grab another win tonight against the Chicago White Sox. Kevin Gausman is on the mound for the Cubs, going up against a steady stream of relievers for the White Sox. Gausman has the third-lowest projected starter among today's games and has a 0.68 HR/9, but hasn't kept runs off the board due to an unsustainably high .364 BABIP and a low 61.8% strand rate. The White Sox have struggled with their starters over the past five games, only getting five innings out of them once.This has put a lot of strain on their relievers, which is far from ideal heading into a designated bullpen game where nine innings are needed from a group in poor form. The White Sox have power that should play well at Wrigley Field, especially with winds blowing out. Gausman's pitch selection is no secret, as he will likely sit on the fastball and throw a ton of splitters.This could lead to a big game for the White Sox, especially with the predicted 15% home run boost with help from the wind at Wrigley. The forecast calls for mid-70s temperatures with up to 10 mph winds blowing out, which should help the bats. While there could be some rain, it's unlikely to affect the game too much
