00:00Okay.
00:01Despite the odds being against them, the White Sox are going to win this series.
00:04They're going to take two out of three against the Cubs.
00:07And the only reason they're not going to sweep the Cubs
00:09is because they are going to have some pitching issues.
00:12They're going to run out of gas in one of these games.
00:14I really hate you talking about TBD this way.
00:16Well, TBD is out here trying to defend it.
00:18Who do you know trying to make back-to-back starts?
00:21Oh, wait.
00:21Grant Taylor does that sometimes, I guess, too.
00:23Yeah, Grant Taylor does.
00:24Grant Taylor might be the X factor in this thing, for all we know.
00:28I like that.
00:29My worst prediction, actually.
00:31Whether it's, let's say, Drew Thorpe or Noah Schultz or Shane Smith
00:37that makes one of these appearances as a bulk guy,
00:40I would hope that they have an opener in that game.
00:43Yeah, well, Josh Nelson made it sound like that as well.
00:46Okay, I'm going to go next, if that's okay.
00:48Please do.
00:49I think the Cubs take two out of three at home.
00:50Okay.
00:51I think it's as simple as you're at home.
00:54I think we get a closer version to what we saw Kevin Gossman do
00:58against the Royals.
01:00The X factor for me is, will Shota Imanaga keep the ball in the yard enough?
01:06And I don't know that that answer is yes against a Sox team that we know can hit.
01:10So, Muna got in a home run number 28 of the season yesterday.
01:15That might be the biggest question for today.
01:18And then I still ultimately think the Cubs take two out of three.
01:22Things feel weird for the Cubs right now.
01:25Things feel a little bit wonky after the St. Louis series.
01:29Whether it was Joshua Baez, whether it was Edward Cabrera,
01:32whether it was Dansby Swanson, something just ain't right.
01:35And it's not like some sort of issue that's going to last the rest of the season
01:39and bad, horrible things are going to happen to the Cubs.
01:42But I think the Sox win this series two out of three.
01:46The Sox, on the other hand, they are playing freely and loosely.
01:50And I know that baseball doesn't have momentum carryover,
01:53but they just swept the Tigers.
01:56Coming back from down 4-1 yesterday,
01:59there's something going on there right now with the White Sox,
02:02like in this spot right here.
02:04So I hate to do it, but I think the White Sox take two out of three
02:08from the Cubs this weekend at Wrigley.
02:10All right, to Ray and to Tyler.
02:12Tyler, you want to go?
02:13Yeah, I'll start it off.
02:14I'm leaning Cubs take two out of three in this one.
02:17I think they lose tonight.
02:19I just have not been confident of Shoday and Managa.
02:22But my X factor for this series, I think it's going to be Pete Crow Armstrong.
02:25Who's that?
02:25For the Cubs.
02:27Because, you know, he had a rough time in the last series,
02:30and we've seen a complete reverse into how his game has been
02:34since the first series and to now.
02:36So I think Pete Crow Armstrong is going to have himself a heck of a series
02:39here at Wrigley against the White Sox.
02:42I think it's going to be two out of three for the Cubs.
02:45I think tonight will be the unfortunate night the Cubs lose.
02:48I think, you know, that's Layla's worry there for Shoday.
02:51The White Sox might overpower Shoday today
02:54and might put on a little bit of a show.
02:56But I think Kevin Gossman is going to right the ship after a rough outing.
03:00And I think we're going to see another good start from Clay Holmes.
03:03So I'm very confident that the Cubs will take two out of three.
03:07X factor, I think, Pedro Ramirez.
03:09Let's see.
03:09Can you steady the ship now that we have some instability in the infield?
03:14Pedro Ramirez is going to be big in this series.
