The Cubs have the best record in the National League, and can they improve upon it on Saturday with a second straight win over the Red Sox?

The Under is 2-0-1 in the last 3 matchups between the Red Sox and Cubs. Boston has been trending low, with the Under hitting in 5 of its last 6 games. Chicago has also leaned Under, going 6-1-1 in its last 8 contests. With Crochet on the mound, the Under has cashed in 4 of his last 6 starts. Stick with the trend.

Somehow, in a weird North Side/South Side ''Summer of Chi'' way, there’s hope in both while only hope for one.

Red Sox manager Alex Cora explained why he did not pinch hit for Connor Wong (.144 batting average) in the seventh inning.

It proved to be the latter for the Boston Red Sox on Friday.

The team’s been mired in mediocrity since they last won it all in 2018. But let yourself believe in this run. It’s more fun that way.
