 The Cubs have won 14 of the last 22 games in the Crosstown Classic to draw within two wins of the White Sox, who lead the all-time series, 62--60.  The Cubs haven't led the series since June 2009 (35--34).

 The White Sox have won five straight games, all by multiple runs (7--2, 7--2, 10--4, 5--3, 9--0).  Their last streak of five consecutive multi-run wins came more than three years ago (6 games, April 23--29, 2017).

 Jon Lester has a 5--0 record with a 2.73 ERA in his last five starts against the White Sox.  Lester is the only pitcher in the history of the Cubs-White Sox series to win five consecutive starts for either team.

 Dallas Keuchel ranks fourth among lefthanded pitchers in wins since 2015 (66--46); Jon Lester leads southpaws in that category (76--41).  Clayton Kershaw (74--26) and J.A. Happ (71--38) rank 2nd and 3rd.

 Willson Contreras has driven in 19 runs in 13 games against the White Sox (.321 BA with 6 HR in 53 AB).

 Jose Abreu ranks fourth in the majors with 630 RBIs since 2014, his first season in MLB.  He is one of five active players to have driven in at least 600 runs over their first six seasons: Albert Pujols 758, Miguel Cabrera 650, Ryan Braun 643, Nolan Arenado 616, and Abreu 611 (excluding "pre-rookie" seasons).

Chicago White Sox right-hander Dylan Cease can't deny feeling some extra oomph about his first career start against the Chicago Cubs on Sunday afternoon.
The White Sox have won seven straight games and are seeking a second consecutive series sweep, this one against the National League Central leaders in their own ballpark. The matter of Cease's personal history with the north siders also plays a role, although he somewhat downplays the 2017 trade that sent him from the Cubs to the White Sox.
