Cubs with toughest interleague opponents?

[JGalt73]

When inter-league schedules were compared to start the season, the Cubs looked to have an easy go, but at this point in the season they have the toughest opponents of the NL Central contenders with only 1 series vs. a currently sub-.500 team. Those upstart White Sox (predicted at 78-84) and Jays (predicted 77-85) along with the blossoming Rays make this a formidable mix.

3 of the 9 "@" games are in Chicago though

Although KC isn't horrible this year, I really wish that they would get good.

But that's cancelled out by 3 of the 6 "vs." being against the White Sox. In the games where there's a clear-cut home vs. away it's 6 road vs. 3 home.

Don't they have like the second worst record in MLB? KC is pretty bad.
