Cubs and White Sox meet in important series at Wrigley Field

The Chicago Cubs host the White Sox for a key series beginning August 17. The White Sox hold a 5.5-game lead in the AL Central after a recent series sweep against the Tigers. Both teams have postseason aspirations, with history showing they have only paired in the playoffs three times. This series marks a critical point for the Cubs, who seek to improve against their city rivals after previous matchups earlier this season. Pitching matchups include Shōta Imanaga versus Luis Castillo on Monday night, followed by Kevin Gausman and Clay Holmes in the subsequent games.
