Dodgers vs White Sox Prediction
The White Sox are coming into this game as a slight underdog with the current betting odds. It is very rare that the Dodgers are this short of a favorite in one of their games and normally it would be a good opportunity to pounce but there is a good reason for this line. The White Sox have won 2 games straight now and their pitching has been much better in both games. They also have their stud on the mound here in Kopech and he has been their best pitcher on the pitching staff all season by far. They are going up against a Dodgers team that just lost 2 straight games and really is not playing that well as they have 5 losses in their last 7 games, including a series prior to their last one where they were swept at home by the Pirates of all teams. The Dodgers have not been playing well recently, their pitching is failing them and their bats are not there to bail them out either. Kopech will be able to pitch deep into this game and hopefully he can fend off their bullpen as long as possible here. They are starting to gain a little steam now and they are getting a Dodgers team here at home that has not been running at full strength. The best bet here is on the White Sox to win this game.

Notable Quotes
"The homer from Trea was great, but we just sort of shut down for seven innings and didn't threaten. Could have had an opportunity to put those guys away, and to let a team like that hang around, they're going to put some runs on the board. That's what happened." - Dave Roberts after his team’s loss against the Mets on Sunday.
"We needed a win, but 10-0 would have been nice. I'm convinced they mess with me just to ... age me." - Tony La Russa after his team’s win against the Rays on Saturday.
