Dodgers at White Sox picks and predictions
Prediction
Dodgers 6, White 4
Moneyline
The Dodgers have won 4 of their last 5 road games while the White Sox only have 6 wins in their last 31 games.
They have lost Flexen's last 8 outings and are 2-12 when he starts.
Miller allowed 5 runs in his return from the injured list and has allowed 5 or more runs in 2 of his 4 starts this year, he should have a better time against a White Sox squad that has has scored 2 or fewer runs in 5 of their last 7 games.
But there is no reason to bet the Dodgers at -225, having to wager more than double what you can win.
PASS.
