Chicago White Sox vs LA Dodgers Prediction
Los Angeles rolls into this contest on a three game winning streak and they have a comfortable lead in the NL West, while Chicago continues to be horrible and cannot score runs consistently. The White Sox are 13-27 at home, while the Dodgers are 25-15 on the road. Chicago is starting Fedde, who has been solid this season, but their bullpen has been awful. Los Angeles is going with Gavin Stone, who is already looking for his ninth win of the season. The White Sox are one of the worst teams in the MLB and even though Fedde has been decent, I can’t trust them to score runs or their bullpen to pitch well late in the game. My Chicago White Sox vs LA Dodgers prediction is for the Dodgers to win by at least two runs.
