The Cubs and White Sox are both in first place, and each has the best record in its respective league. Even better, both are facing a first-place team at home tonight.
At Wrigley Field, the National League Central-leading Cubs (20-6) open a four-game series against the Nationals (19-8), who sit atop the NL East. Meanwhile, at U.S. Cellular Field, the American League Central-leading White Sox (19-9) are finishing a three-game set with the Red Sox (16-11), who hold a half-game lead over the Orioles in the AL East.
