Chicago White Sox vs. Bartolo Colon (MIN)

It's pretty straight forward who we are targeting in the early slate as the White Sox will take their swings vs. 43-year-old Bartolo Colon. For the season, the White Sox have been better vs. lefties but have been swinging the bats better as of late winning six of their last 10 games scoring four or more runs in five of those games. Over the last 14 days, they rank mid-pack(which is much better for them) with a .323 wOBA, 102 wRC+ and 18 long balls. Colon got away with one in his last start vs. the Blue Jays as he allowed only a solo home run but struck out none over 6.2 innings. Considering he has given up seven long balls in his last three starts and has a 13.9% HR/FB rate and 42% hard contact rate in the second half I will take another shot targeting against him on a small four-game slate.

Top Hitters to Stack: Jose Abreu, Avisail Garcia, Leury Garcia

Chicago Cubs vs. Sean Newcomb (ATL)

On the main slate, we turn our attention to the Cubs who have been successfully holding off the Cardinals and Brewers in the National League Central Division. They have done it with an offense that has taken off in the second half leading the league with a .352 wOBA, 253 runs scored and sit second in with a 115 wRC+, .201 ISO and 71 home runs. The Cubs will face southpaw Sean Newcomb tonight and currently sit as a Top 5 team vs. left-handed pitching. Newcomb has strikeout upside(9.2 K/9) but has given up three or more earned runs in seven of his last 10 starts with eight home runs.

Top Hitters to Stack: Kris Bryant, Anthony Rizzo(positive splits vs. LH), Javier Baez, Ben Zobrist
