With half of the Crosstown Classic played, it is almost as traditional to pick the best of the two clubs as to play the series.
To the disdain of the North and South sides of Chicago, both the Cubs and White Sox are less than stellar this year, combining for a record of 56-69 before action on Tuesday. Despite the lack of pizazz in this year’s series and the addition of the BP Cup, fans still come out in droves to watch.
The basics determine who gets the nod at each position (hitting, defense, etc.), but looking at how a certain player is performing may get him the nod over a player with better statistics.
This is the list, for better or for worst…
Reminder: All stats are from before play on Tuesday.
