Dodgers at White Sox picks and predictions
Prediction
Dodgers 5, White Sox 2
Moneyline
The Dodgers (-130) are 23-15 on the road this season, while the White Sox are 13-25 at home.
Both starters have been pitching extremely well. Crochet did alllow 3 runs in his last outing (6 IP), but that was the most he has given up in 10 starts.
Paxton has allowed 2 combined runs in his last 2 starts.
The Dodgers should win, and the moneyline isn't a bad play at -130, but there are plus odds on the run line to take advantage of.
PASS.
Run line/Against the spread
The Dodgers' last 5 wins have been by 2 or more runs and so have 14 of their last 16 victories. They are 20-17 ATS on the road.
The White Sox are 18-20 ATS at home. Seven of their last 10 losses have been by 2 or more runs.
BET DODGERS -1.5 (+135).
Over/Under
Both starters go deep into games and don't allow many runs.
Five of the last 6 games for Chicago have stayed under 9 total runs.
While Paxton's last 6 starts have had at least 10 total runs, 6 of the Dodgers' last 11 games have not reached 9 total runs.
BET UNDER 8 (-105).
