Chicago Cubs DFS SPIN
Cody Bellinger had a two-run homer and a sac fly against the Cardinals in Sunday’s win. Bellinger averaged about nine RBI per month the previous couple of years. He has that many in the last three games against the Cardinals. He’s hit .438 with seven homers, 22 RBI and a 7/5 K/BB ratio in 80 plate appearances this month.
Chicago White Sox DFS SPIN
Zach Remillard went 2-for-4 and hit his first major league homer against the Twins on Sunday. The 29-year-old Remillard has been quite a pleasant surprise for the White Sox, hitting .309/.371/.407 in 92 plate appearances. One can’t expect him to keep it up, given that he was a .244/.340/.376 hitter in three seasons in Triple-A, but he’s been great so far while playing second, third and both outfield corners.

Cubs vs. White Sox MLB BETTING PREDICTION
I want to back the surging Cubs but Kyle Hendricks, who has been solid this season for Chicago, has ugly numbers versus the White Sox. The veteran right-hander is just 1-6 with a 4.83 ERA in 11 career starts against the cross-town rivals, but do I trust the struggling Sox? Meanwhile, Michael Kopech toes the rubber for the White Sox and he owns a respectable 4.29 ERA, but he’s 4-8 this season, which is an indication of how poor the entire team has been. Ultimately, I’m going to overlook Hendricks’ issues with the Sox and back the better, hotter team in the Cubs tonight.
