Chicago White Sox vs LA Dodgers Prediction

I’m on the Dodgers here. I get that it’s not necessarily the most ideal spot to be backing the Dodgers at this price, but truth be told I think the White Sox best chance for a win in this series was with Garrett Crochet pitching on Monday and last I checked, it’s hard to win baseball Games when you don’t score. Bobby Miller had a rough time in his return, but coming off of the IL for a start at Coors isn’t easy and I expect him to have a better outing against a White Sox team with a non-existent offense. Give me the Dodgers.
