Chicago White Sox vs LA Dodgers Prediction

I was going to give the Chicago White Sox a look in the underdog role, but we’re just not getting enough bang for our buck. Yes, Garrett Crochet has been terrific this season and is missing bats at an elite rate, but the gap between the Dodgers and White Sox overall is the distance between Florida and Edmonton. I need more plus money to pull the trigger with the worst team in baseball. The Dodgers aren’t going to be this soft of a favorite much this season. Let’s also not act like James Paxton is chopped liver. Give me the Dodgers in Game 1 against the White Sox.
