Dodgers vs White Sox Prediction
The Dodgers are coming into this game as a slight favorite with the current betting odds. They have not been playing well recently as their offense has been cold but their lineup is too good to keep getting shut down like this and they will likely break out sooner or later. Getting the Dodgers at this price is a gift considering how good their team is along with the fact that Anderson is pitching here who has been 7-0 this season with an ERA south of 3. They are going up against a White Sox team that has been awful this season and has big problems with their bullpen as well. Their bullpen has been allowing a lot of runs all season and Cease, who is starting in this game, has also been struggling this season allowing a lot of runs. The Dodgers are going to turn it around and this is a great spot for them to get a big win at a low price. The best bet here is on the Dodgers to win this game.

Notable Quotes
"(White) kept a good lineup at bay. That fifth inning was a lot of stress, and he found a way to get two strikeouts to finish that inning off. I just felt that was all we could get out of him." - Dave Roberts after his team’s loss against the White Sox on Tuesday.
"Obviously, we've got to get there first. These are teams that are very capable of being playoff teams, more than likely going to be playoff teams. So for us to compete well against them, it goes a long way." - Michael Kopech after their win against the Dodgers on Tuesday.
