The Cubs have firmly established themselves as the best team in baseball with a pair of convincing wins over the Dodgers, so now it’s time to face a lesser opponent. The White Sox are at Sloan Park for a different kind of crosstown tilt and there are several regulars in the lineup.
Kevin Alcántara leads off in center, Michael Busch is at first, Carson Kelly is catching, and Moises Ballesteros is the DH. Nicky Lopez is at short, James Triantos is at second, and Gage Workman is in right to expand his versatility. Ben Cowles is at third with Christian Franklin in left.
