ISIS does not have the strength to take Bagdad right now. H20,000 ISIS Fanatics vs 100,000 Iraqi Security Forces?
I pick ISIS.

Keep in mind, ISIS has only won cities in Sunni dominated areas. To take Bagdad, they will have to take on all of the Shia part of the Iraqi Army along with all of the Shia militias like Muqtada Al Sadr's militia. It will be different.

Iraq’s main problem is not ISIS acutally IMO. It’s the fact that they don’t think of themselves as a nation state i.e. as Iraqis. They are still tribal. They think of themselves as Sunnis, as Kurds and as Shias. Thinking of themselves as Iraqis is way down the line.
