Dodgers vs White Sox Prediction
Chicago comes into this matchup after winning two of their last three series, but they have really struggled on the road. The White Sox are just 9-32 on the road this year, while the Dodgers are 30-14 at home. Los Angeles is one of the top teams in the MLB so far this year, but Yamamoto has been inconsistent over his last five starts. Chicago is going with Shane Smith, who has allowed five earned runs in back-to-back starts. I think we could see some offense in this game, and I like the over here.
