Dodgers vs White Sox Prediction
The Dodgers are coming into this game as a favorite with the current betting odds. They have not been playing great recently but they have been getting better and are on their way back to winning ways. They are going up against a White Sox team that has started to pick up some steam recently but they still have been very bad and inconsistent this season, especially their bullpen which has been awful. Cueto is starting for the White Sox and he has been pitching well but also he has started to slip up a little in his recent starts and he is coming off of one where he allowed some runs. The Dodgers are going to start heating up again soon they are just too good to keep playing like this and the White Sox really are not that good just because they have won a few games recently. The best bet here is on the Dodgers to win this game.

Notable Quotes
"The homer from Trea was great, but we just sort of shut down for seven innings and didn't threaten. Could have had an opportunity to put those guys away, and to let a team like that hang around, they're going to put some runs on the board. That's what happened." - Dave Roberts after his team’s loss against the Mets on Sunday.
"We needed a win, but 10-0 would have been nice. I'm convinced they mess with me just to ... age me." - Tony La Russa after his team’s win against the Rays on Saturday.
