The Cubs took two of three games at Wrigley in May when these teams last met, outscoring the White Sox, 22-11, despite leaving 29 men on base in the series. The Cubs haven't lost a season series to the White Sox since 2014, and have won five of their last six games against their crosstown rival.

The Cubs enter this series having won five of their last seven games. The team has won two straight series since failing to win its previous three (at Mil, at Was, vs. Mil).

The White Sox have lost three of their last four games directly following a run of three in a row. The team will return home where it has gone 9-18 (.333) since the All-Star Break.

Yoan Moncada leads MLB in strikeouts with 206 in 616 plate appearances, just ahead of Giancarlo Stanton who has fanned 204 times in 668 plate appearances. All told, 46.3 percent (285/616) of Moncada's PA's have ended with a true outcome, the highest percentage in the AL (min. 600 PA).

Jose Quintana will face the White Sox for the first time in his career after making 169 starts for the team before being traded to the Cubs. In 82 career starts at Guaranteed Rate Field (formerly U.S. Cellular), Quintana owns a 3.59 ERA to go along with a .689 OPS against.

Reynaldo Lopez owns a 1.10 ERA over his last five starts, allowing only one home run in 32.2 innings (0.28 HR/9) and striking out 35 batters (9.64 K/9). In each of these five starts, Lopez has thrown at least 5.0 innings and has allowed no more than two earned runs, tying the longest such streak of his career.

CHICAGO -- For the first time in a month, the Chicago Cubs will play after an off-day as they head into the stretch run of what they hope leads to their third straight National League Central Division title.
With their magic number at eight to clinch, the Cubs begin a three-game series against their crosstown rival Chicago White Sox on Friday fresh off a difficult slate during which they played 29 games in 30 days. Over that time, the Cubs won 18 of the 29 games and will return to action after catching their breath Thursday. They will attempt to use this weekend's three-game set at Guaranteed Rate Field to hold off the second-place Milwaukee Brewers.
