With Ivan Nova on the mound for the Sox tonight, the Cubs have loaded their lineup full of left-handed batters, many of them with a really strong history against Nova. Given how well they’ve played at home and the fact that Cole Hamels is riding a bit of a hot streak, you have to feel good about tonight.
Of course, the White Sox always wind up playing up to the Cubs, so I’m guessing it will not just be a walk in the park. Regardless of the outcome, join Luis and I after the post-game for another episode of Outside the Ivy on NBC Sports Chicago.
