The Crosstown Classic just got a whole lot more interesting. Riding a five-game winning streak and fresh off a series victory over the Kansas City Royals, the Chicago White Sox find themselves above .500 for the first time in what feels like ages. With a Wild Card spot currently in their grasp, these South Siders are buzzing with momentum—and there's no better time to prove it than when the Chicago Cubs come to town.

Taking the mound for the White Sox is Sean Burke, who has been solid most of the season—until his last outing, that is. In a rough turn that brought back memories of Jaime Navarro, Burke surrendered six earned runs in just over four innings against the Seattle Mariners. He'll be eager to bounce back against a Cubs offense that's struggling to find its rhythm. Chicago's North Side squad has dropped four of their last five games, averaging a meager one run per contest.

On the other side, the Cubs will send former Miami Marlins pitcher Edward Cabrera to the hill. Despite a respectable 3-1 record and a 3.88 ERA, Cabrera has allowed three or more earned runs in each of his last six starts. In his most recent appearance, he lasted just five innings while giving up two home runs and five earned runs. With a 6.55 ERA in two May outings and the White Sox offense clicking on all cylinders, there's plenty of reason to believe the Good Guys can send the Cubs packing—and maybe into an early October slumber.

Here's the starting lineup for our rivals from the north:

First pitch is set for 6:40 pm CST. As a rare White Sox and Brewers fan, I'll be on the edge of my seat, hoping to bring you a happy recap.
