<\/a>The Chicago Cubs have lost four consecutive games, including an 8-3 setback to the White Sox as -106 road favorites Wednesday, while going OVER the betting total of 8.5.\u00a0 \u00a0 The Cubs are 2-8 in their last 10 games away from Wrigley Field\u2014playing a part in falling 10 games below .500 for the first time this season.\u00a0 It\u2019s important to point out that the franchise is 15-29 as road underdogs of +100 to +125 since the start of the 2012 campaign.<\/p>\n
Cubs starting pitcher Jake Arrieta (0-0, 0.00 ERA) didn\u2019t earn a decision in a 3-0 home win over the St. Louis Cardinals in his first trip to the mound this season, as he allowed just four hits over 5.1 shutout innings.\u00a0 The right-hander went 1-1 with a 2.25 ERA in five injury rehab appearances between Single-A Daytona and Double-A Tennessee.\u00a0 In three career efforts versus the White Sox, Arrieta has compiled a 1-1 record and 5.17 ERA.<\/p>\n
The Chicago White Sox have won a season-high four consecutive games, with the UNDER going 3-1 in that span. \u00a0 Offensively, the team continues to be led by rookie first baseman Jose Abreu, who now has an MLB-best 24 extra-base hits.\u00a0 Second baseman Gordon Beckham is also starting to come to life due to being a .348 career hitter against the Cubs.\u00a0 Over the last two-plus seasons, the club is 20-27 at home with a money line of -100 to -125.<\/p>\n
White Sox starting pitcher Scott Carroll (1-1, 0.68 ERA) is scheduled to make his third career appearance in the big leagues, as he\u2019s allowed just one earned run over 13.1 innings of work.\u00a0 The right-hander was 3-1 with a 1.57 ERA over four starts this season with Class AAA Charlotte before having his contract purchased on April 27.\u00a0 Carroll will be making his first appearance in the Windy City rivalry.<\/p>\n
Sports bettors will likely back the White Sox due to their 9-4 record in their last 13 interleague home games.<\/p>\n
