White Sox vs Dodgers Prediction
The Dodgers are going to be favored because they’re the Dodgers, and Yamamoto has been fabulous this season with a 2.68 ERA and 0.92 WHIP. However, as I’ve said all season, you’re going to make money fading the Dodgers, and at prices like this, is where you capitalize. Also, as I continue to say, the White Sox are a good baseball team that continues to win and cash tickets at these disrespectful prices. Burke has also been decent in his own right with a 3.88 ERA and 1.18 WHIP and averaging nearly a strikeout per inning. We’re getting more than 1.5 times our money with a good White Sox team. We cashed in on them last night. Let’s go back to the well.
