"Weekend Benders" going "Crosstown Classic" 2K15

T.G.I.F. August 14, 2015 @ 4:05pm ET

CHC Hendricks (6-5) vs CWS Samardzija (8-7)

Saturday August 15, 2015 @ 7:10pm ET 

CHC Arrieta (13-6) vs CWS Quintana (6-9)

Sunday August 16, 2015 @ 2:10pm ET 

CHC Haren (8-7) vs CWS Sale (10-7)

On the "Bump"...the Cubbies have their man going Saturday in Jake Arrieta but both Hendricks and the newly-acquired Dan Haren must hold it down. Former North Siders RHP Jeff Samardzija gets the nod in game 1 and the Pale Hose will throw All-Star Chris Sale in Sunday's Game and that is an edge to the Pale Hose talking Sunday's match up!

"At the Dish"

1B Abreu .292 avg 21 HR 67 RBI 68 R

CF Eaton .266 avg 8 3B 68 R 

LF M. Cabrera .281 avg 7 HR 58 RBI 51 R

Schwarber has been dialed in "At the Dish" for the North Siders as he has 8 bombs in just thirty games. Jose Abreu is the one constant for the Pale Hose as he can just flat out rake with power!
