Friday afternoon, will feature John Danks for the White Sox, who is 4-4 on the year with a 2.90. The lefthander has been off and on this season, and has never faced the Cubs in his career. For the Cubs, they will throw another lefthander, Ted Lilly, who is 7-5, with a 4.76 era. Lilly struggled with his command in his last start, but has had some nice outings lately.

Saturday, another afternoon game, will feature Jose Contreras, 6-5, 3.24 for the Sox, against Jason Marquis, 5-3, 4.24 for the Cubs.
