Los Angeles Dodgers vs. Chicago White Sox Prediction

I’m on the Dodgers in this one. I just think this is a bad matchup for Anthony Kay as the Dodgers’ offense has been humming and has been doing really well against left-handed pitching in recent weeks. On the other side, the White Sox have hit well also, but Roki Sasaki is pitching some of the best baseball of his young major league career and I think the Dodgers back him up for the win in this one. Give me the Dodgers.
